mobile 10 September 2010
I was in such a delighted rush off the set (a whole hour early) that I forgot my mobile phones. There are a few things wrong with the last sentence but the one that is most awful (?) is that I mentioned phoneS = plural. Yes, in spite of always declaring I wouldn’t ever do it, I have 2 phones now – one UK and one Irish. Now, although I might have been able to email anyone ‘urgently’ that night by way of contact I realised that I don’t have an alarm clock anymore but for what’s on either phone…and I had a 6.10am pick-up the following morning. SO a unit driver was good enough to bring me the phoneS I had mistakenly left in my dressing room…but it’s just as well I spotted all of this as I got out of the car that left me home because THERE ARE NO PUBLIC TELEPHONES anywhere near where my flat is in Manchester. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I saw such a thing (if ever) on the streets surrounding me. Have all such phones disappeared now…or nearly so…in any town or city? And when am I going to invest in an actual alarm clock to cover any potential future showbiz disaster…
