I agree Jayelles - I started to respond to you saying I thought we were more or less in agreement re phone noises but then I got so tangled up in what I was trying to say and couldn't remember why it was being discussed to begin with so I gave up. The one absolute I WILL say though is we need to invent a new word for the clicking/clacking/thumping/banging/whatever noise the phone makes when its being hung up.
