When the Quango was being run down c2012 we were one of the few MoJ bodies that had a public phone number on our website. We also had a name suggesting we were involved in the administration of justice.
Consequently we got a regular set of inquiries which were nothing to do with us. However as we had little real work to do, computers etc on our desk and a 'help the public' ethos we did our best to 'signpost' people to somebody who could help them. Doing that, and a colleague's complement that I was good at it was one of the things that led me to CAB world.
The weirdest one fell to a colleague. One of the Lord Chancellor's more esoteric duties is (or was) the authorisation of exhumations. Our inquirer's Mother was buried in his back garden and he wanted to work out the practicalities of moving her when he downsized.
We were able to locate somebody at HQ who had this stuff as a peripheral responsibility.
