Feeling thick, here, Marmight, can’t get the ‘ co-ordinator of interpretive teaching’ one. Will probably kick myself when you tell me.

Argos Avocado Advocate 
this made me laugh. Having only this morning sat and waited & waited & waited at the end of a telephone queue I can sympathise.
I phoned Argos customer services yesterday for some advice on how to return a faulty product. The automated message told me I was in a queue (what a surprise) and urged me to wait for the next advocate to become available.
Eh?? I googled 'advocate' as a distraction from the jangling racket in my ear. Every few seconds I was assured an advocate would be with me soon. I was really impressed by learning I would soon be talking to an expert in the field of law - possibly a barrister or solicitor. Argos must be paying well these days so maybe it was time to switch on my 'Margot Leadbetter' telephone voice.
Instead, I got someone I couldn't understand and who didn't have a clue so gave me a reference number to take with me when I return the item.
I might as well have been talking to an avocado.
