Although we can turn up the volume on our phone some people have such soft voices it can be difficult to hear them and my poor old hand gets pins and needles if I hold the phone for too long.

No delivery charge, just a pleasant smile. What amazes me though is that we bought so much less in those days and possibly we made nearly everything at home so very few tins or packets in the order.<br />Yes, I am sure all will now go well with a home visit.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-17726364160242155662016-08-13T17:50:51.723+08:002016-08-13T17:50:51.723+08:00See my explanation above.

I can remember those switchboard operator days and I can also remember that, in country towns, they mostly knew you personally. I also remember when we would go to a shop with a list, stand behind a counter and someone, always with a smile, would gather together all on that list, pack it, put it on our account and deliver it to our home at a convenient time. I do hope you get sorted.
