But then that's because I use a camera to take pictures, not a bloody mobile phone. See, for me, the words “Carl Zeiss” and “mobile phone” just don’t belong together.

But then again I am the proud owner of a Mr T Celebriduck so my judgment is not to be trusted. Wendy - my father's friend had a mobile phone in the 80s. It was the size of a decent-sized speaker, with a handle and a normal phone receiver on a curly wire, and it weighed approximately 35 stone.

Plus we have a lot of common friends, so I wouldn't have to change many contacts. What ringtones do you have? Send it in to Phone Swap Programme, That Bloke, This House, Those Towns, There, TIT1 LOL Wendy - Was it really 12 years ago? Wow. <em>And</em> you could get a quarter of humdrums for a thrupney bit and still have change for the talkies. Sounds like the easiest option.

Funnily how quickly things change, itsn't it? I remember how scarily complicated it all seemed to get when BT introduced their Friends and Family number scheme only 12ish years ago. I think that was the only choice available then. No mobiles (apart from if you were VERY rich and had VERY strong arms), no different tariffs, no free local calls. All you needed to know was who your friends were, and that it was cheaper to call them after 6pm. “Sony Goran Eriksson”

Nice.
