Who On Earth Lives In Leamington Spa?

So, I'm just settling down to dinner when my phone rings - the number is one that I don't recognise at all, so I leave it to go onto the voicemail. When I check after eating, however, whoever it is hasn't left a message. Doing a quick check on the area code, I find that my caller is in Leamington Spa (No, I didn't know either - it's in Warwickshire, apparently.)

Intrigued by this, and with the recognition that the countless market research and sales calls I get invariably withhold their number, I call the caller back. A woman answers, and I explain what happened. She insists that I must have the wrong number (which I didn't, as I subsequently checked), as she hasn't called me. "Is it possible you misdialled and got me when you were calling someone else?" I ask, not unreasonably.

At which point she says that no, it's not; she hasn't called anyone at all since whe got home two hours ago, and there's no one else in the house who could have done so either. Goodbye.

So now I'm *very* intrigued.
