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 today with mobile phones and email it is really hard to seperate your leisure time from your work time. It is almost always possible to contact someone at anytime, or be contacted and as much as we seem to hate it we also hate the idea of missing an important phone call or having dozens of unread emails.
The only time I feel really relaxed these days is when I go to my property up the coast where there is no internet and no mobile reception, only a house phone line. I don't constantly worry about where my phone is or who is trying to contact me and I feel...free
But with mobile phones being such an everyday item it seems people have forgotten their manners. Phones ringing in movies, the theatre, out at dinner, is a disruption, and walking away from friends and family all the time to talk on the phone is just rude.
I think we need to stop spending so much time concentrating on the people on the phone or internet and enjoy the time we spend with people face to face.
