I remain fascinated that so many people can become so massively cross because they are unable to use their phone for a few hours
It seems to be almost an addiction. I read recently that young people (In Spain, that takes you up to age 50!) are unable to refrain from using their mobile devices for longer that ten minutes. And as for the number of people I nearly bump into because they are gazing at the things . . .
Off- thread, and apologies mods, but yesterday I saw the lot. A chap on a bike riding no-hands with one hand working his mobile and an iPod in his ears. The other hand was in his lap but I couldn't see what that was doing! No wonder they get killed on level crossings.
