Joe Won't be At Work Today
There was a very broad Irish accent on the other end of the phone.
"Hi there is that Mr Bogs?"
"Yes it is. You're speaking to Milt."
"This is Mr Murphy, Joe's father. I'm ringing to tell you that Joe's very sorry but he's not well and won't be at work today."
"I'm sorry to hear that Mr Murphy. Hope he's going to be ok."
"He's got the diarrhoea. At the moment it's running all through the house."
