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 mobile phones are one of the worst things invented. They seem be a licence to be rude and obnoxious and downright dangerous. I've lost count of the number of drivers I see daily using their mobiles while supposedly in control of a vehicle. Children use them to bully and harass at school and people hold up queues in banks and shops while they organise their social calendar. Having said all that I admit to having access to 2 mobile phones, my husbands and my daughters. I use my husbands if I'm going to ba away from home for an extended period to let my husband know that I am safe or on my way home. My daughter is able to do the same if she goes out with friends, she is not allowed to take it school at all. I do not give out our mobile numbers as they are for emergency and safety use only and if I am needed by anyone other that my partner and daughter I have a landline with an answering machine. I don't intend to be controlled by my mobile!
