Last weekennd in between DIYing, I had a quick listen on 40 m and went back to 
a G6 two-letter call who was calling CQ Contest.  I signed Foxtrot 5 Victor 
Lima Foxtrot.  He came back to me:

"G9VLF you are 59 etc"

With a call of that antiquity, he should have known that G9 calls are not 
issued to the ordinary radio amateur.  Also, as he got my prefix wrong I was 
not 59.
