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.
