There were 3 cordless phones in the mix, the first was installed by Mr Pike about September of 1984 but needed to be replaced in the following July after a lightening storm damaged it (2nd cordless), This was the phone that had the ring fault. Mr Pike didn't take the phone to repair it, he took it to exchange it but found that the replacement (3rd cordless) had the same fault and so just removed the cordless altogether.
I believe that you have posted on the MM board for some time? I am sure that there are things you have forgotten and no one is perfect. Whether or not Pike repaied phones or not (and he may have) is neither here nor there really, this is just a bit of point scoring - no need.
Thank you for confirming that what I said about Mr Pike, Nevill Bamber and the tale of the Envoy is correct.
I have no interest in 'point scoring', just in getting the facts correct. People who contradict the facts I post need to make sure they have the evidence to back up what they say. Relying on their faulty memories won't do; particularly when accusing me of being wrong. Now that
is point scoring and it will fail.
