How did we survive without them before? We managed didn’t we?
Having said that, the mobile phone has saved my life on several occasions. There’s been a many a time when I’ve been in the supermarket and the shelves are empty of dimpled toilet roll. A simple phone call and all is well…. ‘Ok babe I’ll get the lilac aloe vera four ply.’
Before mobiles, I would have taken a risk and got the cheapest bum scratching crisp packety type toilet roll and got an earful when I got home. And all I was trying to do was economise.
But life without a mobile phone now would be unthinkable. Specific laws have even been made. It is actually illegal to be driving a car whilst using a mobile phone with your hand. Don’t worry though because you can still eat a packet of crisps, comb your hair, pick your nose and put your make up on whilst you’re driving.
Ironic, then, that I nearly ran over some twat who walked straight out into the middle of the road whilst talking on the phone.
I nearly choked on my Cornish Pasty.

We recently had literature from a local political candidate, whose second main reason for voting for him was that he was campaigning against a mobile phone mast in an area near us. Apart from the fact that he did nothing for the one in our area, if we wanted to contact him we could do so on....you've guessed it, his mobile phone. So how does that work then?
