I imagine you may have visited more old folk than I bish in your official capacity so I could easily accept that if you think more common! I say it as I've just seen it with the phones a few times & know through my company we do quite a bit of internal wiring for such cases (less so now with the wireless tech)

oh - i'm sure people must do that... problem is - if you've had a fall and broken your hip - you're not going to get to the phone even if it is in the same room - unless you've had the foresight to put it in the middle of the floor... but, then, if you have - the chances are that you will trip over it! 8)

My 97 year old Gran has those pull cord alarm things in every room in her flat. Problem is, one numpty grandson keeps pulling the one in the bathroom thinking it's the light :oops:

Result. Happiness abounds in the Spotty household. Missus Spotty is happiness personified, strolling around room to room speaking on new phone to mother-in-hell Spotty. Spotty himself is basking in the glow, but at a safe remove in't pub. And all because Mrs Spotty pointed out we never have the TV and CD on at the same time, therefore freeing up a space on the overcrowded electric socket. Yay...
That's not a leopard!

I hope you remembered to fully charge the battery without interruption for 24 hours. Or perhaps your batteries don't require this.

Steve Marriott, guitar and vocal God via the Small Faces and Humble Pie, played both Oliver and The Artful Dodger in Lionel Bart's original 1960 stage production of "Oliver".

It's his voice you will think of when you here the Artful Dodger tunes "Consider Yourself" and "I'd Do Anything".

Your welcome.

My Harley has been delivered! It's in better Nick than I expected and should come up nicely with a bit of work.
