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.

Perhaps it's time we made some hard and fast rules of mobile phone etiquette! I have heard a phone ring (and be answered) at a funeral, in movies and is there anything worse than trying to have a quiet meal/drink/coffee and hearing someone close to you sharing their lives loudly on their mobiles? Some people speak so loudly they don't actually need the phones, they could easily be heard without them!
Please, spare me from the people, mostly female, who share intimacies on their mobiles for anyone within cooee to hear, sometimes they say things that I'm sure they wouldn't normally say in a face to face situation. Having said all that, I am female and never go anywhere without my mobile, but let's all try to have some respect for others when speaking.
