So a caller came to the airlock today and said he was new to the area. I explained that we had to take some simple details name, date of birth and whether they are sleeping rough or not.

He said his name was Stephen Rea

So I said, "Oh, like the actor"


 and he said "Who?"
"Stephen Rea, the actor?"

and the young man said,
"Never heard of him."

and I said


"Well, you HAVE!" and I smiled

Stony faced he just looked back at me, expressionless, unsmiling, unmoved.


I don't know, perhaps it was me, but I thought this was extremely funny.
