While the national grid prepares for the power surge generated by thousands switching on the kettle to make the half-time cuppa, here at CSnotepad Towers we prepare for the half-time phone call.

Call levels peaked and troughed in synchronisation with kick-off, half-time and full-time during the England v Slovenia match this afternoon, as workers nationwide paused to support our national football team in the World Cup 2010 in South Africa.

Record numbers of callers who grabbed the phone to make that last minute call just before the match or at half-time asked to have their calls returned after the football was over, clearly getting their priorities in order!  (Don’t worry, we won’t tell the boss…)

Congratulations to the team who won 1-0, we’ll all be behind you in the next round.
