No problem -- and thanks for the potential offer of a phone.

I'm pretty relaxed about not having a phone at all TBH (at least that
way people know that they cannot get in touch except via IRC/email) so
don't go to too much trouble hunting for a spare -- I just thought that
there are bound to be a few old phones gathering dust in various DD's
drawers, and therefore it would probably be no effort for someone to
throw one in their luggage before they leave home.

Cheers, Phil.
