That sounds eminently plausible to me Munsey. Then I guess these days there will also be a bunch of immigrant ducks so callers will now come in various Indian, Asian Middle Eastern and Euroean dialects as well? It leads to another question though and that is "how the hell does Dundee know what language caller to use when the duck is forty metres up in low cloud?
