So once I get back from Swindon I'll be outside with the telewest box making sure it's dry as fuck and covering it with a carrier bag until my important phone call is done. I've also got to find a fixed wired phone to put on the end of the line in case the DECT phone goes potty (which no doubt at this rate it will).
But this is assuming that the chap from Vodafone recruitment will be able to pass along my new number before the interview call.
