"Hello, this is Dave calling from John Lewis --- erm, I mean MK Auto Care."

That's the God-damned funniest thing I've heard today... How on Earth 
you'd mix up an expensive department store with a small local garage I 
don't know, but anyway...

Funny!
  I bet that they worked at John Lewis. But now works for MK Auto Care. 
Automatic speech is what I call that. Good thing they didn't work at a 
morgue.

Have Fun!

The guy /claims/ he was looking at some paperwork that said John Lewis 
on it... Either that or he just doesn't know where the **** he works. ;-)

happened to be the name of a store you recognized.
