he has no mobile phone, (or chooses not to declare it perhaps) and no landline at his workshop, so email and phone calls get better attention when he is home, emails do go missing, recently my computer was sending them out to about four people, who were not receiving them, I have no idea why this was, but after about two months they started coming through again, they never did bounce back. I have been known to send him a letter, (remember them?) that way he has to pick the thing up off the doormat!
