If you'd actually bothered to read what what I really wrote, you would
have understood that I said "difficult" ... I did not say it was

Most high street phone retailers do not stock corded phones (excluding

most people don't want wired phones these days ... in fact, it's around
the tipping point where most people don't even want a landline phone at
all.
