Hey, how're you doing? Sorry you can't get through

...just a qwik note to all you friends, family and other fone callers out there; should you be planning to ring our home phone sometime soon, please DO leave an answer phone message. Due to the number of people calling about our flat recently, we've gone for a policy of no longer answering the phone until we hear who's calling. So, if we're in we promise to pick it up once we hear it's you. Sorry for the inconvenience and please feel free to direct hatemail - no, sorry, to direct prayers of goodwill towards our landlady who's to blame for the whole argy-bargy...
