Charles, it’s Joe here. I’m afraid Г11 have to let you down for our date next Thursday. We have problems in the Boston office and I have to fly out on Monday. I’ll be there at least a week. Can we nut it back for a week or so?
What a pitv! Nevermind. Give me a ring when you get back and we’ll fix something up. I’ll try and take Sheila to the PIE instead.
Charles, this is Joe.
Joe, how was your trip?
Rather taxing — I’m suffering from jetlag at the moment. But I’ll be fine in a few days. What was the PIE like?
I didn’t go — I asked Sheila and she stood me up at the last minute, j That’s the last time I make a date with her!
Anv chance of meeting up this weekend?
I’m afraid that’s out of the question — my mother-in-law has decided to turn up! She wants to go for a run on Sunday.
Are you free tomorrow evening?
Well, I was going to try out the new gym, but now I have to see a supplier until 7.30, so I’ll be too late.
We could go to the cinema.
What a good idea!
I’ll check what’s on and get back to you.
Speak to you later, then.
