A First for me

I was interviewed by the Police today- oh, don't worry, I wasn't in trouble. Had to confirm a telephone conversation.

It's strange that in todays modern world, where at a click of a button, anyone can know where anyone else is - or can they?

Having been contacted by this particular Policeman, I was asked to ring back on a number. I tried and tried and tried without any success, the phone just kept ringing and ringing with no voice mail cutting in. Eventually I managed to get through to a Duty Sargeant and was told not to bother contacting again problem had been sorted. Okay, fine by me,which it was, until I had a call saying that I would be arrested for obstruction - obstruction of what, I followed to proceedure.

I put in a complaint and today was visited by alovel lady who was investigation by complaint. After filling her in with the details I ended by saying, it would have be so simple if I could have left a message on a voicemail.

"Oh," she said, "there had been a problem with the voicemails, been going on for about six months and no one reported it."

So the phone never rings at the Police Station - no wonder crime figures are up.
