I emailed Wyre Council's general email address the other day. This lead to a day-long exchange of emails.
ME: I am a carer. I believe we live in a No Cold Calling Zone. We had Virgin Media cold call the other day when it was inconvenient. Please could we have a No Cold Calling sticker for the door?
WYRE COUNCIL: Thank you for your email. The stickers are available from Trading Standards.
ME: Thank you for your email. How do I contact Trading Standards?
WYRE COUNCIL: 0808 800 9060
I proceeded to call the number but it didn't seem right.
ME: Thank you for the phone number. I wanted "Trading Standards" as advised in your 1st email.
The number you gave me is for Advice Direct Scotland.
WYRE COUNCIL: Sorry but that is the contact number as per google.
ME: Thank you for using Google to find an incorrect telephone number on my behalf. I was under the impression that Trading Standards were part of Wyre Council. Apparently, not.
Never mind, I used Google to help me find the correct phone number for trading standards.
