Moos Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Can I just check, in case you are bad with spelling as well as numbers - is that Rothchild or Rothschild? Is this a re-run of The Student Prince?

Ellie78 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Did she say where in Dulwich- ie. Did she say 'East' particularly?I would also post this on the west dulwich forum and nunhead forum (if you haven't already).... I hope you find her too!I also hope that she is hoping you find her so we can all have a happy ending.

Alan Medic Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 What is your issue with this happening? A similar thing has happened to me in the past.

I realised that I had given the wrong number to a number of people who fortunately in my instance I was able to contact and correct the matter with. I can't see what your suspicions are about.Where did I say I am suspicious? I asked a simple question which you failed to answer. Your example is of just giving someone a wrong number. That's not a two digit switch in my book!Besides if Ben ever comes back here I'm sure he will happily explain how it happened and probably thank me for keeping this thread alive by having to deal with do gooders like yourself.Right, in the event of Ben not returning, can anyone explain how the two digit switch works? Serious answers only please. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17214-looking-for-someone-in-dulwich/#findComment-435695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minkey Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I'm prone to getting a couple of digits in the wrong order if I'm tired. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17214-looking-for-someone-in-dulwich/#findComment-435714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Alan, perhaps he had cards made up and only realised afterwards that there was a mistake... perhaps he's just moved and doesn't yet know his number well... perhaps he was flustered by her radiant French chic and stumbled but was unwilling to admit his error in his manly pride.What we're discussing here is your basic date movie end-of-the-first-reel Plot Device enabling Boy to lose Girl through a series of unfortunate misunderstandings involving pratfalls and some Shakespearean cross-dressing* so that when the lovers are finally triumphantly reunited at the end, it will feel all the more poignant. *My thanks to M.Palaeologus for the phrasing Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17214-looking-for-someone-in-dulwich/#findComment-435723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Medic Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Very well written Moos but the cards idea just doesn't wash and not knowing his number well might be feasable if only he could prove that he had given her the wrong number. I can see you are an optimist though given the certainty you appear to have that this will have a happy ending.Presumably Ben will tell us himself how he knew he did the two digit switch. You don't think we are going to have to fork out for a cinema ticket to get the answer do you?

new mother Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Dr Alan, what does this chap have to gain by finding this girl if he is not genuine? He isn't asking for her details, merely that she contact him if she is interested.

katie1997 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Good grief Alan! It's fairly easy to realise that you've likely (accidentally) switched two digits of your phone number. It really is. Here's how: You could have the same telephone number for years (as I have) and still make a muddle of giving your number to others when asked (as I do). I can only imagine even more so if its someone you like and hope will keep in touch. Then you remember that thing you occasionally do where you get the number mixed up, the same two digits every time!! For example, you ended with 235 instead of 253, and you kick yourself for doing it again, especially in this situation.Or it could be, let's say, a new mobile or a work mobile, or you've borrowed your brother's spare mobile till you get your own replaced after you put it through the washing machine by mistake ... and you've not memorised the number yet. So you write it down. Except you've written it down incorrectly! Damn! And when you get back to NY, you wonder why you're not getting any calls so you check the number and hey, you realise your mistake etc etc. Good luck Ben and I hope you find each other. I can imagine the people of East Dulwich listening out for lovely french-speaking ladies so they can point her to your message :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/17214-looking-for-someone-in-dulwich/#findComment-435806 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Medic Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 new mother, I've no idea..........perhaps he's CIA. I never stated he wasn't genuine. Does anyone know a French woman in Dulwich?katie9197.............there, I've done it. See, easy to do. Not so easy to remember you've done it if you didn't mean to in the first place. Have you thought of writing fiction katie1979? I think you have the imagination for it.Where are you Ben?

Moos Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I think Ben has concluded we are a wasp's nest of argumentative nutters and is steering well clear.
