So the telephone conversation which was on speakerphone went like this
Caller: Yes, so the funeral is on Tuesday at 11.00 AM. Do you remember us talking about Olive? She lives near you. Himself: No, I don't remember you talking about Olive. Was she a good friend? Caller: Yes she was. I'd like her to know. Himself; Do you remember whereabouts she lived? Caller: Oh, now you're asking.I think she lived near a roundabout...........
He's gone. Looking for Olive, who lives near a roundabout quite near us .....Somewhere.
I offered to make him sandwiches but he refused. I'll let you know.
He's back. No Olive, but he'll try again tomorrow. I think he's going to set up a search grid.
He came back with some tree lights mind, following a huge ......debate? Yes, debate this morning. You could say the lights were an Olive branch, but I won't say that.
He has looked but the directory doesn't tell you if O. Jones at such&such address lives near a roundabout. And here's the thing, Olive although widowed could still be listed under her husband's initial and our caller can't remember his name.
