Mums Finance

I can only speak for myself but there are few instances where the public use of mobile phones do not seriously annoy me. They, and the people who shout into them, text into them and obsessively check them everywhere you go just drive me to distraction.

It is bad enough that you cannot enjoy a meal in a restaurant without some twerp within your field of vision talking to their phone rather than their companion; bad enough that you cannot get on a bus or train without someone nearby answering some inane ringtone.

The only place people like myself could get some refuge from fone freaks was on an aircraft. But now it seems those days could be numbered since Emirates have allowed use of these things on their flights. I plan to boycott this airline…

Now of course other airlines will be keen to follow suit but maybe there is something we can do about it - there is a campaign to keep the skies phone-free and we should jump on the wagon and keep it that way. Who wants to hear some twit stating the sheer obvious…‘ I’m on the plane now ! ‘  …. DUHHH!!
