A couple of weeks ago we had someone round from the England and Wales Crime Survey to ask us questions about crime in our area (None, middle of nowhere is the answer) When she arrived I am sure she said her name was Izzy Taylor, and I called her Izzy all the way through the survey. 

At the end of the survey she gave me a card and said if there were any questions that I shouldn't hesitate to call. After she went I looked at the card and the name said "Ozymandias (Ozzy) Taylor. So not only had I not got his name wrong throughout the survey, I'd got his gender wrong as well. What an absolute star though it not correcting me. When his boss rang to ask how the survey has gone I gave him full marks out of sheer guilt. 

I should have added, in my defence he did look particularly androgynous, it wasn't just my failing eyesight.
