Today the tea rooms telephone is out of order.
This means we reentered the Dark Ages.
We still received all the phone calls we should (BT kindly forwarded them all to my mobile).
What was scuppered was the credit/debit card machine.
Which uses the 'phone line.
So for the few who didn't have enough cash to pay for their cake/ice cream/tea/strawberries we produced some of those paper slips to take the details of their card and then I had to 'phone through to an automated line for approval.
It took an age.
Actually it took two: stone and iron.
The line is still not fixed.
They say it'll be done tomorrow....
Then we'll return to the 21stC.
