Just spent about 45 mins from GC to Herts no problem unless I was holding up the line for you. It is the perfect time to get everyone though so things will probably be busy. Good Luck.

Did she have a good christmas

Felt a bit guilty. After talking to everyone for ages, my brother came back on and called me a sexist pig Asked why, he told me they had just opened the bag of pressies I had left and I had forgotten him and my nephew - oh shit Said I would send him a hat with corks and strangely he told me not to bother

Just to let you know I've had trouble the other way. Took over an hour to get through to Father in law in Melbourne, it was either constantly engaged, ringing or just unobtainable. Too many of us trying to call i suppose!

Difficult to determine really. She sounded a bit agitated to me, but then i often find they sound that way whatever they are talking about

And think yourself lucky he didnt tell you WHERE to shove the corks!
