2624344, David Carter speaking.
Hello, David. It’s Joyce, Joyce Cook.
Hello, Joyce. How are you?
I’m very well, thanks. How are you?
Oh, not so bad, you know.
Good. I rang to ask if you know anything about hotels on the Costa Brava.
No, I’m afraid I can’t be very much helpful to you there. Why?
Well, it’s just that we’ve been thinking of taking the family to Spain summer. And at this rather late stage, we’re trying to organize ourselves a suitable hotel. But I thought that you’ve been to the Costa Brava.
I have several times. But I’ve always taken a tent and do it the hard way.
Oh, I see. I didn’t realize that.
Yes. Great one for the open area, you know.
Oh, it must be nice. But we could never contemplate it with our lot. We are terribly disorganized as a family, you know, and we’d be in chaos at no time. And in any case, the car isn’t big enough to get all of us in and camping equipment as well. So we simply must find ourselves a nice hotel where they’ll put up with noisy kids.
Uhm. You have got a problem. I’ll tell you what, Joyce. It’s just occurred to me Mr. and Mrs. Simpson from over the road have been to that part of Spain several times and I seem to remember them saying they always use some hotel.
Do they?
Yes. At least I think that’s what they said. I’ll pop round later this evening and if they do know anything that might be of use to you, I’ll get one or the other of them to give you a ring.
Would you? That’s very kind of you.
