Probably the latter, but TBH the phone line almost never gets used...

Same here, but I have a couple of essential-use scenarios.

One is Mother Dear.

The other is that the mobile signal is so poor that voice calls often fail, so I have to ask people to call on the landline number.
I've had this issue with important calls recently, with the oncologist!

And if your ongoing deal continues to offer free line rental on ye olde aes cyprium line, then there's not much to loose, is there?

Can you make use of WiFi calling on your mobile? Now it seems to work quite well, I hardly notice if there's no mobile service, but I have WiFi.

Ok, the Bosch has crapped out.  What's the panel's current recommendation for a tactical ironing weapon?  Do any of them have IR laser targeting yet?

Can you not just pop it in the Corby Trouser Press?

Last used one of those in a(n) Harrogate hotel. After using it I discovered that the foam stuff was degrading and so stank of fish.

Luckily a(n) Harrogate Dry Cleaner could do the trousers in an hour.

Or someone had tried cooking some fish in it.

Not the plaice for it.

It put me in mind of a 'story' (not necessarily true) I heard on the wireless about drunk people trying to cook chicken with an iron and getting food poisoning.

Hmm, there's also the thought of someone else running their cable in a neat freak's home... Especially as we're about to get the decorator in.
