It is a debt helpline. Free, anonymous, open till eight.
Eleven calls. The longest is thirty-four minutes, on the ninth of September, which is three days after I photographed the policy.
That man sat somewhere, eleven times in nine weeks, and rang strangers about money, and then came home and told me the water heater was playing up.
And I stood in my own utility room at half one in the morning and read what that number was, and I put the phone back exactly where it had been, and I went to bed.
He was asking for help from a stranger on a Tuesday and lying to me on the Wednesday, and I was photographing it on the Thursday.
Nobody in that house asked anybody in that house for anything, for nine weeks, and all three of us were awake.
What happened that morning.
Armed response and two fire appliances were on scene inside about eleven minutes, which for Lark Hollow is very good and which is because of how I made that call, and that is the one thing I did on the seventh of October that I am not ashamed of.
