No longer quite so incommunicado

Well, some of you will know about the rather long running and completely pathetic saga of my stupid Phillips handset, which has become posessed by something [still don't quite know what] and would just randomly turn on, turn off, charge, refuse to charge, or just plain crash.

Not fun trying to talk to someone and have your handset just crash mid-conversation and have to run to turn on the speaker phone before BT decides the conversation has run its course and hangs up for me. Also rather embarassing to have to start every conversation with a series of caveats about how this conversation may be inexplicably terminated...

So. The Phillips handset is on its way to the dump, and it has finally been replaced. [Not really available from John Lewis, although Argos did had them...] I have not yet figured how to stop the answering machine from picking up after about two rings but then I've not read the manual so...

I am wondering if the nice female pre-recorded voice will tempt people to leave messages thinking they've got the London Street Sauna, which is just down the road and whose phone number is somewhat similar to mine...
