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 just common sense and manners apply- something that is severly lacking in todays society. If you are at an event, ie movies, theatre, dinner party, even the dr's TURN IT OFF. If you must leave it on for something urgent, ie babysitter etc, TURN IT TO SILENT. Dont make a big deal about it if it rings and leave quietly. If you are in a conversation with someone and it rings then ask them if it is ok if you take this call, dont just ignore them and answer. If you are on a bus, train etc, talk quietly or wait until you get off to have your conversation - no one else cares about what you did last night. NEVER ring anyone after 9pm unless you know them extremely well or it is an emergency. A text can wait until morning also. Mobiles are great for our fast, busy lives but are also the ultimate "rude" box!
