Silence please

I was fortunate enough to be able to observe a two minute silence to honour all those brave soldiers who gave their lives in various wars, on Rememberance Sunday.

However trying to hold a two minute silence during the working day is a lot harder - we tried at work today, but it never quite pans out. Someone's phone always rings and there is always one unfortunate that is in the middle of an interview and who cannot quite get the interviewee to be silent about their latest promotion.

Next year I will be taking my phone off the hook I think to save future blushes.
