On day two of the power cut, Tony was wondering if they'd need him at work. He works in a hotel/bar restaurant down the road. We still had phone reception, so I suggested he call and ask.
This perturbed him. He was visibly anxious.
Tony: Dunno what to say.
Me: Just phone them, tell them we have a power cut, and ask them if they still need you to go to work.
Tony pondered it for a little while.
Tony: Right...
He walked off, prodding his phone.
As a brief after thought, I remembered that he just follows instructions and I'd left an important detail out. I called out after him...
Me: Remember to say who it is!
Pause...
Tony: Gareth.
Me: That's not your name Tone!
Tony: Oh yeah.
