Programme note
Our old, clunky answer machine would tape a minute of conversation when we didn’t answer the telephone quickly enough. If I picked up using the hands-free function on a different phone, then feedback was recorded over the top of the conversation. I guess even the most trivial of conversations has many layers of meaning, beyond the bare facts being related.
