Letter: Dog and bone

Published 19 May 2001

From Patrick Wise

I suggest that those who believe the “my dog swallowed my mobile phone” story
(Feedback, 14 April)
try dropping their mobile in a bucket of water, leave to
marinate for a few minutes, and then try calling it from another phone to see
whether or not it rings.

By the way, how do I know whether or not the light in my fridge goes out when
I close the door?
