    I'd just be blunt and ask them WHY they want your number.

    If it's to catch up for a friendly drink, then that's up to you. If it's to get help when they don't know what to do, then just say that as you won't be working for the company, then unfortunately you won't be able to help them, so they'll have to ask the manager.

    Just make sure you write stuff down for them before you go.
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    I'd try to have everything documented (although I can appreciate some tasks won't be done until after you've gone), and I'd alert their line manager to the state of play towards the end of your notice period. But it's the employer's problem, not yours.
