2 minutes silence

11/11/2008 by paul.

It could have been written for a sitcom.    Here in Solihull, at the 11th. hour, of the 11th. month etc. the girls in the office decided that we should all observe the 2 minutes of silence.
So, to mark the beginning and the end of the 2 minutes, they sounded the fire alarm.  Within a few moments of the sounding of the alarm for the beginning of the 2 minutes, the main switchboard phone rang. Of course, it was not answered, due to the silence.
Immediately after the 2 minutes, it was discovered that the unanswered phone call, was from the fire brigade. Receiving no answer, they rushed round to put out the fire…..making a lot of noise

Doh !
