Every week, we ring up a random call centre and ask them to give a prediction or two on the
weekend's games...
Week 4: Tesco
TESCO: Good afternoon tesco.com, Surinder speaking – can I take your postcode please?
RUCKED: Erm, okay, it’s SE5 8PA
TESCO: So is that S for Sierra, E for Echo, Five, Eight, P for Papa, A for Alpha.
RUCKED: Yes, that’s right.
TESCO: And your surname?
RUCKED: Erm, Rucked…
TESCO: Thank you, can I take your order number.
RUCKED: Haven’t got one, we’d like to know the rugby results for the weekend please?
TESCO: The rugby?
RUCKED: Yes, we’d like to know your predictions for the weekend. How do you think England will get on against Samoa?
TESCO: England against Samoa?
RUCKED: Yes.
TESCO: I think England because I used to live there and I would support them over Samoa. I lived there for ten years but moved to Wales five years ago, I know England and Wales have got some kind of grudge against each other, but I’d still support them.
RUCKED: Um, okay then. With your local knowledge how do you fancy Wales’ chances against Japan?
TESCO: Wales obviously, I’m supporting Wales as much as England. In fact, if they were playing each other I’d probably support Wales.
RUCKED: But we thought you were an England fan?
TESCO: Yeah, if they’re playing someone else, but not against Wales. I was born in Wales and then moved to England.
RUCKED: Oh. How about Ireland and France?
TESCO: Ireland against France? France I reckon…
RUCKED: Thanks very much.
