For work I deal with a lot of motor factors and shops in Birmingham and the Black country, a large portion of which are run by asians.
Several (although definatly a minority, and generally the younger ones) have "english" first names, I talk to a guy in Brierly Hill regurally who is probably in his mid 30's, is pakistani and has a broad pakistani accent.
So my point if I have one as I am rambleing slightly is that his name could have been Barry and despite my own hate of anyone trying to sell me anything down the phone, it may have been a little closed minded of you to immediatly tell him that he's lying about his name.
