There are 3 phones on my desk at work. One of them suddenly decided to ring. Ok, not no.1 ... not no.2 ... ermmm ... not no.3 ...
Wtf...
And it sounds strange - like it's somewhere underground.
Finally I found phone no.4 which for some reason has been deported on the floor and hidden among countless cables.

One advantage of living half a continent away from most people here...No-one ever told you about poking a lion through the cage bars with a short stick?

Survived Tesco's it was a 'nicer' experience than last time, far less people, so keeping distance was easier, but when I came out there must have been 30 people queuing to get in.
I must answer any phone call. I am the only one person in a large 5 story building. We do communicate via radios but private things are sorted via phone calls. And that was a call from security supervisor.

back from Tesco, just a 200 yard queue, let the hedgehog go in the shrubbery at the back of the house (it backs onto a large park)

It was very civilised, the older folk were bought to the front of the queue by the trolley collectors, some looked to infirm to wait in the 200 yard queue

As so many people are staying at home, Admiral insurance have very few people in their call centre. They advised that it could take up to an hour to answer my call. You have to ring up to re-new as you can't amend the policy to re-new on-line, but they ask people to only call within 1-3 days of the renewal date to free up as many people for urgent calls.
So, this morning I called and waited patiently with all the documents open on my laptop.... at just over 50 minutes someone answered, in my panic at someone actually getting to speak to someone I pressed the wrong button on my mobile and cut them off...... Ahhhhh!!
So having a cup of tea and a jaffa cake before starting again.

I was lucky when I got there nobody was waiting & I walked straight in, young lad wiping down the trolleys before you got one, but when I came out there was well over 20 people waiting, maybe as many as 30, but it was nice to see an old couple who were going to have to walk to the end of the queue (as you say 200M there & then 200M back) being offered a place by a young woman to save them the walk.
I made a point of thanking every member of staff I come in contact (not physically) with, they are doing a great job putting themselves in danger to help the rest of us.
