Yep, my mate used to work for them.
They have a company name & everything, fucked if I can remember it now.
He got two especially funny (sad) call outs that I remember:
Veron called them out asking why he couldn't get live tv from Argentina, & upon them speaking to a satellite engineer & relaying the answer to him, were asked why how much it would cost to move the equator, as that seemed to be the obstruction in beaming live satellite pictures.
The second was from Phil Neville, who had bought an antique table at auction, huge, extremely expensive & very, very old, 'cos I like the look of it', then asked them to put it in a corner of a very large room. When it was pointed out there was a box built in to the wall meaning it wouldn't go into the corner, he told them simply 'well cut a leg down so it fits then' After checked repeatedly this actually serious & not a joke they reluctantly destroyed the piece of history by doing as he asked.
Other than that they were asked to do everything, including change bulbs, fuses, feed fish & other pets, walk dogs, buy partners & girlfriends presents, book restaurants, events & nightclubs, & even going shopping for groceries.
