Gak
As Sue and I were away for the evening, I needed to let my daughter know that someone was coming round to collect some Freecycle stuff. I asked Sue but she wasn't interested as it was job. So I forgot...
As I was cycling away from work to play D&D, I remembered and nimbly fished my mobile out of my rucksack side pocket. Flat battery...
At Cemetery Junction I stopped at a phone box and tried ringing home. Engaged...
I picked up my fish and chips and tried a phone box further on. Strangely the receiver was left on top but the phone seemed to be worked. Except it ate 10p and wouldn't return it...
So I tried the phonebox next to it and got through (and it's 30p for a call from a pay phone!), only to find that the person had already collected the magazines...
So, 40p spent and a waste of time anyway (except I'm sure Samantha appreciated the call so probably not a waste at all).
