OK. So would you all like to learn the REAL truth about using a mobile phone at a filling station or onboard an aircraft?
1) Using a mobile phone at a filling station takes the customer
longer time in refuelling the car, thus causing a delay to other
customers, who may well 'drive on' to the next filling station
which ain't good for business.
2) Using a mobile phone in any public environment whether it be
on a train, restaurant, or airplane is irritating to other travellers
who have to listen in to your 'plans for Friday night with Dave'.
There is, and never has been, any conclusive evidence that the use of mobile telecommunications equipment poses any threat to safety in the above circumstances.
I would, however, like to point out that the most serious threat to public health regarding the use of mobile phones comes from those who are using the new 'frog' ring tone.
Any passengers who allow this ringtone to sound beyond a maximum of five seconds anywhere at Gatwick will get my boot up their @rse!
