Mr Fields: Camford 24689.
Louise: Hello, could I speak to Mr Fields, please?
Mr F: Speaking.
LP: Hello, Mr Fields, my names Louise Platt and
I live next door to your aunt, Mrs Grey,
in Newton street.
Mr F: Oh, is there something wrong?
LP: No, no. Well, there isnt an emergency or anything
like that. But I would like to talk to you for a moment
about Mrs Grey. Im very worried about her, you see.
Mr F: Is she ill?
LP: No, its not that. Its just that I went round to visit
her because, you know, she lives alone and Ive just
moved to the area and well, I want to be
neighbourly, you know.
Mr F: Im sorry, but whats the problem?
LP: Well, thats it you see, I said she should give me a
number to ring, if ever she was ill or if there was an
emergency. You know, someone in the family to get
in touch with, because shes an old lady, you know...
MrF: Look, Mrs... er...
LP: Platt, Louise Platt.
Mr F: Look, Mrs Platt. I dont mean to be unkind and Im
sure you mean well, but.. .if my aunties well, I really
dont see why you are phoning me. Im a very busy
man but I do go and see my aunt quite regularly and
you seem to be suggesting that shes neglected in
some way, and really I can assure you thats not the case.
Shes a very independent old lady and
she wont thank you for interfering.
LP: Yes, but the problem is Mr Fields, that that old
house is so dangerous, Im sure therell be
an accident if nothings done.
Mr F: Dangerous? In what way dangerous?
LP Well, the electricity for a start.
Mr F: Whats wrong with the electricity?
LP: Well, apart from the fact that its all so old and
needs rewiring there are certain things that are really
very dangerous.
Mr F: What, for example?
LP: Well, shes got a socket right above the kitchen sink
and you know thats so dangerous. The flex from the toaster
trails across the washing up water. Its dangerous to touch plugs
or sockets with wet hands or splash them. That socket should be
taken out at once.
Mr F: Shes lived there for thirty-five years and nothings ever happened.
LP: That doesnt mean nothing will happen. Shes also
got a socket in the bathroom, which is not a good idea at all.
And all the sockets are so old that they dont have switches and you
know switch sockets are so much safer. And, of course, there arent
enough sockets in the living room and then shes got so many
appliances working off one socket that Im sure shell overload the system.
Shes using old adaptors with three plugs in - all the flexes get mixed up
and tangled together and thats such a dangerous thing to do, you know.
And then upstairs the live flex is just pinned to the wall...
Mr F: OK, OK Mrs Platt. Listen, Ill go round and check these
things if you like and if my aunt wants something
done about them, maybe I can help her iz some way.
Well, really the whole house needs rewiring, its the
only answer. And by the way, do tell her not to put wet
clothes over the electric heater, wont you?
As I say, Ill speak to my aunt...
LP: Anyway, my husbands an electrician, so if you want to
get the work done cheaply, because these things cost
such a lot of money, dont they?
Mr F: Thank you very much, but I think Ill let my aunt decide about that.
Thank you for calling. Good bye Mrs Platt.
