Now I have lots of storage boxes in which to stack away the belongings of my daughter and her husband, reader Peter Foster from Newsome sends me a warning.

“Just a tip: be sure to number your boxes, then make a list of their contents. Your family is sure to want something in a hurry. We have had a similar situation with a grand-daughter with a huge collection of books etc. Within days of packing this lot away she rang to say she thought her Income Tax return was among them. A fruitless search at 10pm revealed nowt!

“A phone call in the morning: “Don’t bother. We’ve found it!” Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Those cold calls still annoy people.

Mrs B, of Meltham, has had a particularly strange one. She answers it, listens to complete silence for a few minutes and then a female voice says ‘goodbye’.

“What is that all about?” she asks.

Any ideas?
