She rang me after about two and a half hours to say that the BT engineer had already been and done the repair. He had even moved the junction to where she had always wanted it to be and it will not cost her anything because it was on a particular side of something.

If I can't do much else, I can get things done.

Technology races on while many of us fail to keep pace.

Have just had the woman across the road ring me on her mobile. You know, the one who intends to kill the village children with her particulates!

The coal is here, probably not the original pallet, and the man backed it in the gate. As he did so, he pulled down the telephone wire!

She asked if I could contact BT for her to have them repair it so I rang them. Luckily, she is in the same postcode as I am and I know what her house is called because they asked me what her name was. She has been there over twenty years, first with her husband and then with another man she may or may not have been married to and, in that time, I have seen her about a dozen times and never known her surname because I have never had need to know it.

Naturally, the daft bat has turned her mobile off so I can't tell her her incident number.
