....switched on during the flight today, and, contrary to what they always tell you at the start of the flight, we did not crash or get lost.
Funnily enough, I spoke on mine at the petrol station last week and a spark did not cause a massive explosion.
its nigh on impossible to cause an explosion from a mobile Your more likely to cause an explosion from wearing nylon! Saw the tests to prove it.
imho they are more worried about it interfering with the bit that counts the litres as the old CB radios used to do! You could go fill up and key up and stop the clock turning! lol
I once.... ....got caught chatting on mine at a filling station near Bumhole Lane actually - it was years ago and I didn't realise that it wasn't allowed. It turned into a pretty humiliating incident actually as the chubby cashier got on a tannoy and bollocked me - "will the customer in the blue Peugeot kindly get OFF him mobile phone please" - probably loud enough for half of Ecclesall Road to hear I reckon, and certainly loud enough for the tidy blonde filling up at the next pump to know in no uncertain terms about my misdemeanour.
RE: its nigh on impossible to cause an explosion from a mobile That wouldn't have been Brainiac would it?
Ah but did anyone phone or text you? And how come I have to have my MP3 player turned off during take off and landing?
No joy with the tidy blonde then ? I'd like to think you ended your call, leant back casually on the bonnet of the peugeot and said "my, you're certainly a very tidy blonde" Mate of mine had a phone incident a few years back. Travelling from Waterloo on a old slam door train and sitting opposite a woman chatting away on her mobile. Her girly chat caused her to cross and un-cross her legs (a trousered suit so no chance of any knicker stuff going on) and in doing so her soiled shoes (it was quite wet out) kept brushing his recently pressed whistle. He politely asked a couple of times that she avoided his suit and brushed his trousers off, but she continued in her animated chat and he eventually lost his rag, whipped her shoe off and chucked it out of the window just past Surbiton - she called the guard and he ended up paying for new shoes, but it was worth it
