Nevertheless it is yet another aspect that should be considered/looked into and it was enough to bring you out of your igloo  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Jeremy was telling the police at the time that Neville liked to keep things private & within the family. Now he is saying Neville phoned the police.

Not sure why Neville would phone both the police & Jeremy. Maybe he wanted to leave a last message on Jeremys answering machine in case he didn't make it to sunrise. Pity Jeremys answering machine was switched off. But good of Neville to wait several minutes for Jeremy to pick up the phone.

Oh yes, people sleeping 'like a log' manage to answer downstairs phones within 10 seconds.

Hi Susie McG, This is an interesting point.

Has JB actually stated he heard his phone ring 5 times before answering it?

(and yet JB could not remember who he called first (after receiving the alleged call from Nevill)) - Julie or EP?)

I wonder how long 5 rings is?

Did JB say he was woken by the phone?

How far was JB's phone from his bed?

Could JB in a woozy state, having just woken up, physically get to his phone in 5 rings?

Reality Check - What evidence is there to free JB? Answers on a very small postcard!

Jeremy said he slept 'like a log' & was woken by the downstairs phone.

Five rings, ten seconds ?

According to other posters, people often turn their answering machines off when at home ???

Jeremys phone was downstairs.

Don't think you understand the differences between modern communications technology and 80's technology  ::)

This was discussed the other day.

My conservative estimate is it would be 20 rings before Jeremy answers the downstairs phone.

Good of Neville to wait.

We don't turn ours off at any time, but we use it (when we are in) to "vet" calls and pick up when we want to - otherwise they can just leave a message!!

If my phone rang at 3am I would wait to see who it was (there would then be a part recording on tape should all my family be murdered to show that I did in fact receive a call  ;)).

If the call sounded urgent I would pick up the phone next to my bed.

This of course is just what I would do!

That's a bit daft.
