No-one is that important that they take precedence over together time. People we know are now nearly trained to ring earlier :)Blue Witchhttp://blue-witch.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-2285174223345771002010-12-10T10:31:28.868+00:002010-12-10T10:31:28.868+00:00The phone rarely rings so I'd do c).The phone rarely rings so I'd do c).Roseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469442580348062913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-38565315790726482142010-12-09T17:04:38.230+00:002010-12-09T17:04:38.230+00:00I asked because the phone rang just as the Sage wa...I asked because the phone rang just as the Sage was about to take his first forkful last night. He answered, explained to the friend that we were just eating, and he'd phone back. He tried several times to return the call, but there was no answer - we suspect the tv was turned up loud and he couldn't hear the phone.<br /><br />We don't have caller id because the Sage would always answer anyway. For me, it would be b, but if I were foolish enough to answer, d. The Sage, usually c. He's unable to leave a ringing phone.<br /><br />The butler is busy serving our dinner, Chris.

However, I am getting good at putting off cold callers (mealtime or not) but it's satisfying to be able to say, "This is not a good time to call. We're having lunch" before hanging up. If you don't hang up quickly they'll try to book a time when it is convenient, damn them!sablonneusehttp://sablonneuse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-7980446031504534162010-12-09T13:14:10.449+00:002010-12-09T13:14:10.449+00:00Doesn't Carson answer the telephone for you?Doesn't Carson answer the telephone for you?Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14227767014123557100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-29689687228886431942010-12-09T13:13:44.034+00:002010-12-09T13:13:44.034+00:00f:) Answer but using my skilful Goldfinger impress...f:) Answer but using my skilful Goldfinger impression with an extra hint of menace.Roghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09780409453528524865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-28944561491864726312010-12-09T11:54:47.011+00:002010-12-09T11:54:47.011+00:00A, B (the two can be done together) and E.A, B (the two can be done together) and E.badgerdaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275758525851693777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-79960040776235760772010-12-09T11:36:51.886+00:002010-12-09T11:36:51.886+00:00a/b for me.

But that has changed....<br /><br />...when I call my boys and they happen to be eating, (and this happens a lot as they are a very disorganised bunch in that house and dinner time has abut a 2 hour time range, 8pm - 10pm, so it's hard to know when not to call) they tell me they're eating and say they will phone me later - this is how their father has them trained. It infuriates me to reach them only to be told they can't talk. So I won't do that to anybody else.<br /><br />I let calls go to the answerphone and ring back later. <br /><br />M takes calls though - every time - and it irritates me enormously that the food I've spent some time preparing then gets cold and congealed.<br /><br />wendyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-30883809372682096702010-12-09T08:20:31.414+00:002010-12-09T08:20:31.414+00:00B if it's switched on, otherwise a or c.B if it's switched on, otherwise a or c.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-16829602199021989352010-12-09T06:14:36.594+00:002010-12-09T06:14:36.594+00:00Sod the phone, you're right, they'll call ...Sod the phone, you're right, they'll call back if it matters.<br /><br /><br />Mind you, last night I called a friend of mine round about tea time, it rang for ages, and the ignorant tartbag didn't answer!
