Each handset has a different ringtone.
For
the office I selected The Entertainer (used in
The Sting) which,
surprisingly, Fester likes.
The
handsets can also be used as an intercom system, which has its own ringtone.
Being the youngest sibling and having worked in offices I’ve learnt that when making a cup of tea or coffee one should always ask if anyone else nearby wants one.
So
whenever I do so, and himself is in, I bellow
“Do you want a cup of tea/coffee?”
up the stairs towards the office where he is usually esconced.
I
have to bellow as he is increasingly deaf and always has the radio or iPlayer
on. Also
I’m not prepared to climb up and downstairs twice if he wants one.
Last Sunday morning, having bellowed “Do you want cup of tea?” three times up the stairs, I had a bright idea and went to the downstairs phone.
Pressed
intercom and selected Handset 3.
It
rang out for far longer than I expected; so long I thought he might be in the
bedroom.
Eventually
I heard Fester’s voice “Hullo?”
“Do
you want a cup of tea?”
“Yes please. I’ve been looking everywhere for your mobile
phone … there’s too much bloody technology in this house.”
