This was a fundamental error on my part - I was expecting an urgent call - it is usually left either in the bedroom or elsewhere.
My stupidity has been well and truly rewarded! But, I now have a brand new handset! Always a silver lining somewhere!
New phone? Nice one!
Out there right now, is a now very recently resigned Apple store employee posting about his "worst day EVER!!!!!" all over Facebook and Twitter. 🙂 He's probably at 100 likes and 200 virtual hugs as we speak.
