Our first topic is about something many of us would rather live without, but double back home to get if we leave them behind. Mobile phones.
We'd like to know your thoughts on mobiles phones and their usage. Things like when you should or shouldn't use them, what time is too late to call someone and when is it appropriate or inappropriate to text or call.

I think that regular common courtesy should apply to mobile phones. I was brought up that you never call someone before 9am & after 9pm unless it is family or it is an emergency. If you know that the person you are calling is a nightowl then feel free to ring them at 11pm but if you are not sure if they will be awake then it is probably best to not call.
My mother does this to us all the time & regardless of how many times I say to her "please don't ring after 9pm unless it is urgent as one or all of us are sleeping" she doesn't listen & it is very hard to ignore a ringing phone when you are drifting off to sleep!
If I need to talk to someone & it is late at night then I usually send them a text - that way they have the choice to respond at that time or ignore the message until the morning - I have found that this works with all of my friends & family.
