Do you have a date with EAT?

EAT doesn’t know what we’re meant to be doing.

I know, nothing odd in that.

However, on Friday, EAT had her handbag stolen in London – and with it, her mobile phone, diary, shorthand notebook complete with interviews, money (not a lot), credit cards, etc.

The good news is that the brilliant staff at South West Trains let EAT travel back home without a ticket, which just goes to shows EAT must have an honest face (although being on the brink of bursting into tears may have helped).

An off-duty policeman on the train (a Detective Chief Inspector, no less) sprang to EAT’s rescue by cancelling the mobile phone account.

The Metropolitan Police were on the phone the very next day with our crime number. And the full incident, it turns out, was recorded on CCTV at the restaurant where it happened. Someone may even get a starring role on Crimewatch – you never know.
 
So, that just leaves us with two problems.

First, what mobile device can readers recommend as a replacement for what the thief will have been disappointed to discover was a very old and cheap mobile pre-dating smart i-thingies?

More importantly, EAT had a number of engagements in the diary.

If you are reading this and you had a hot (let’s face it, probably tepid) meeting lined up with me, please can you email me the details!
