    Oh come on!!
    I know a million other ways!!!
    But if we are to be specific…
    My boss in the Listing Office of the Crown Court was a Cricket fanatic. A Somerset man. When there was a Test on he had a TV tuned in with the sound off and a Radio tuned to Test Match Special (well the radio commentary is vastly superior).
    We also had a bank of 16 direct phone lines to Barristers Chambers, The CPS, the Police Liason etc.
    When the phones rang we answered and dealt with whatever was needed.
    We got the work done and didn’t miss a ball.
    Now if you’re going to throw a sicky…
    Well that’s different!
