    Many moons ago I had a 'work mobile' which many seemed to see as a status symbol but I viewed as a nuisance.  I always left mine in my desk at the end of the day unless I was going to be out and about the following day.  I was amazed at how many comments I got along the lines of "What if somebody needs to get hold of you?"  My response was that I wasn't on call and they had my landline number and could leave a message if it was really important.

    I carry my phone most of the time just because it's the most compact camera/torch that I own.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Rarely carry mine. I find it sad seeing so many folk glued to them when pushing prams [really, really sad :/ ]  or walking their dogs. Do they really need to be so 'available' all the time?
    I hate being available  :D
    Do you remember when it was the 'in thing' to have a smaller phone? Now they're like encyclopaedias  :D
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I also remember when folk talked into them discreetly, now "phones" are held at arms' length and shouted at , and then they shout back. 
    Anyone who "facetimes" in a public place should be shot.
    Does anything look more ridiculous than someone using an iPad  as a phone?

    Isn't the theory that screen size increased along with the sudden ability to look at pictures of naked ladies on phones? :#
