Dear Robotham, You tried to ring me up today, the first time I was at a Meeting, the second time I was still at the Meeting but I had the call put through. I hung on for some time, got cut off once and then hung on again, and they cancelled the call. I only tell you this because it was not my fault that you did not get me. Yours sincerely, S.B.Wilks. | ||
