The voices

In my mind's eye I followed my words as they zig-zagged across the globe. The number I dialled was in the UK but before finally reaching a human I'd heard an Irish, a British, an American, an Australian and an Indian accent.

I'm not overly fussed about where call centres are located but this kind of whirlwind round-the-world tour leaves me giddy. There can't be any technical reason I had to connect through four different automated voices.
