Dilemma: how do I cope with wind?

[piskieinboots]

I am sat here waiting for a business call to come in (yes I know, regular little Alan Sugar is I) ...now normally I would just divert to my mobile and scoot off to lottie and deal with spuds/biz call/Alan Sugaring no worries.

BUT - it is blowing a windy thing out there and when the call comes in (which will be as soon as I put the spade in!) they will hear wind - so, my options:
a) stay put and wait for call
b) go to lottie and leave mobly to take call, saying I was in meeting
c) go to lottie, take call at lottie and say 'I'm just working on a project for a client which is taking place in a wind-tunnel, we are testing noise levels
d) other

advise...

Take a large goldfish bowl to pop over your bonce when you take the call...........

Step inside the shed.

Wrap your phone in a big furry sock - bit like what they do with sound booms on telly.

Or take a cardboard box with you, when you get the call put the box over your head and take the call. Your client will think you're in a big office of someone obviously important.

Or you could say you're trying a new phone and the hands free bit isn't great - would they mind if you called back when you can get your other phone working.

Step inside the shed.

There you go again, rubbing us non-shed-allowed people's noses in it! Pah.

What no shed, foowee, you guys need to kick some serious butt. An allotment is not an allotment without a shed. Do you have a communal one?

hahahaha - fantastic ideas all of you...
so, we have:
Suzie stood in Piskie's shed with a cardboard bowl on her head and the phone in a sock
...
sorted - I'm off

Don't let anyone see you, or you will be, carted!

tell the caller you're in a meeting in a hot air balloon courtesy of an important client~never know,they may just think thats the norm & to keep up with the Jones' hey presto book a real hot air balloon for their next meeting with you!!

Even I've got a shed, but then I had to pay £250,000 to get my 'allotment', aka the garden!!

I clicked on this thinking someone had the windypops, tee hee hee!

[SlugLobber]

Oh forgot, I'd go for the shed option if you have it, or just say it's a really bad line!

I'm back having pulled a good few 1lbs of spuds, spinach, peas and courgettes and the phone never rang - I sat down (at desk, Yes I Diiid!) with a cuppa and client rang - perrrrfect timing just thankfully he couldn't see my finger nails...must try using a fork next time!

Definately, or you may get a treat of some winter spuds.

My usual excuse when people say 'are you outside'; 'yes, I don't have a very good signal in the house, and we live in the country...so I have to take calls outdoors'.
