We decided we should purchase a house phone as N was getting furious about the amount of time she spent on her mobile to Virgin. We chose a simple handset. It is white.
Now I am unsure whether this purchase was infact a good idea as it allows the people of Hulme another way in to our lives. The first day of the phone being bought, we had a prank.
We were initially excited for our first phone call but it turns out not to be as promising as we thought. I answered and was shocked to here a strange accent saying "Hey baby, are you up?". Now it was around 6pm so of course I was up (unless they know about my secret sleeping habits) but I was alarmed as to who has gotten this number so fast, with the phone being in the house a matter of hours. I hung up in fear.
A few days later we received another prank of a similar nature. Now I suspect that somehow the pranks are being made from the phone boxes near our flat. They are always full with suspicious characters and who else could they be calling?
