  Mr Fields: Camford 24689.
  
  Louise: Hello, could I speak to Mr Fields, please?
  
  Mr F: Speaking.
  
  LP: Hello, Mr Fields, my name’s 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 isn’t an emergency or anything
  
  like that. But I would like to talk to you for a moment
  
  about Mrs Grey. I’m very worried about her, you see.
  
  Mr F: Is she ill?
  
  LP: No, it’s not that. It’s just that I went round to visit
  
  her because, you know, she lives alone and I’ve just
  
  moved to the area and well, I want to be
  
  neighbourly, you know.
  
  Mr F: I’m sorry, but what’s the problem?
  
  LP: Well, that’s 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 she’s an old lady, you know...
  
  MrF: Look, Mrs... er...
  
  LP: Platt, Louise Platt.
  
  Mr F: Look, Mrs Platt. I don’t mean to be unkind and I’m
  
  sure you mean well, but.. .if my auntie’s well, I really
  
  don’t see why you are phoning me. I’m a very busy
  
  man but I do go and see my aunt quite regularly and
  
  you seem to be suggesting that she’s neglected in
  
  some way, and really I can assure you that’s not the case.
  
  She’s a very independent old lady and
  
  she won’t thank you for interfering.
  
  LP: Yes, but the problem is Mr Fields, that that old
  
  house is so dangerous, I’m sure there’ll be
  
  an accident if nothing’s done.
  
  Mr F: Dangerous? In what way dangerous?
  
  LP Well, the electricity for a start.
  
  Mr F: What’s wrong with the electricity?
  
  LP: Well, apart from the fact that it’s all so old and
  
  needs rewiring there are certain things that are really
  
  very dangerous.
  
  Mr F: What, for example?
  
  LP: Well, she’s got a socket right above the kitchen sink
  
  and you know that’s so dangerous. The flex from the toaster
  
  trails across the washing up water. It’s dangerous to touch plugs
  
  or sockets with wet hands or splash them. That socket should be
  
  taken out at once.
  
  Mr F: She’s lived there for thirty-five years and nothing’s ever happened.
  
  LP: That doesn’t mean nothing will happen. She’s also
  
  got a socket in the bathroom, which is not a good idea at all.
  
  And all the sockets are so old that they don’t have switches and you
  
  know switch sockets are so much safer. And, of course, there aren’t
  
  enough sockets in the living room and then she’s got so many
  
  appliances working off one socket that I’m sure she’ll overload the system.
  
  She’s using old adaptors with three plugs in - all the flexes get mixed up
  
  and tangled together and that’s 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, I’ll 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, it’s the
  
  only answer. And by the way, do tell her not to put wet
  
  clothes over the electric heater, won’t you?
  
  As I say, I’ll speak to my aunt...
  
  
  
  LP: Anyway, my husband’s an electrician, so if you want to
  
  get the work done cheaply, because these things cost
  
  such a lot of money, don’t they?
  
  Mr F: Thank you very much, but I think I’ll let my aunt decide about that.
  
  Thank you for calling. Good bye Mrs Platt.
  
  LP: Well.. .Why don’t you just have a word with him. hello... hello...
