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.
