I'd start a thread about phones...

[SpokeyDokey]

Lovely Wife purchased a new Tab' a few weeks ago - ended up with an iPad Mini 2 on a stupid cheap deal of well below £200 once she had finished doing her Marakesh Bazaar Haggling thing. Plus they threw in the flippy stand thing FOC which retails at a (laughable) 30 notes or thereabouts.

The lad serving us was flummoxed that she did not want to hold off and pre-order the new Mini 4. Main selling points according to him were that it was 'massively quicker' although when asked he couldn't define what exactly that meant and it was thinner (1mm he said - not sure how correct that is) and it can be had in a golden colour.

For these amazing improvements she would've had to forgo the free flippy thing and shell out another £110 and wait a good few weeks longer as, quote/unquote plucky sales lad, "absolutely EVERYONE wants one".

Some people can resist the hype.

Apple, i-phone. Where do you stand on the vexed issues of Charles Tyrwhitt shirts and Hugo Boss suits?

Let me read up on what they tell me and I'll get back to you.

I'll look it up on my double-mega-awesome iPhone.

They have phones outside of London?

So they can organise fights or order chips.

Add BMW while you are there.

I have one of those. Convertible. Parked next to my Audi. All very lovely.

Well yes we do both plus we also chat on them with other enlightened souls, who having been born in London, saw sense and moved away.

Our conversations run along the lines of "aren't we so lucky idling our lives away here in the sticks whilst those poor *astards down there are slaving away in that *hite hole doing all manner of clever stuff to keep the country going for us". We are so terribly grateful and think that they really really do deserve all those lovely Labels.

Is there one where the little chap holds his hand, thumb touching forefinger to form a small circle, and moves it up and down in a rhythmic fashion?

Yes. If you've been told otherwise, it may be personal

Hmmm, you are out-trumped today: our old tractor beats those two hands down. Runs on Red Diesel too - when we mentioned Red Diesel to our friends who have two huge houses in SW London they thought it was a new energy drink - we despair at how backward our London cousins can be at times. We blame it on inbreeding.

Ha! You'll be trying to tell me next we don't need a passport and visa to cross the M25!

Silly idiots! Everyone knows they make reassuringly expensive clothes.

So they can organise fights or order chips.

And send pictures of their naughty bits to each other.

Dumphone. When I want to go on the internet, I use a device better suited to it. That doesn't make me a luddite - it makes me sensible.

But how safe is your phone
