To Mr Mobile phone man.....

.....in the quiet zone of the 9:03 Winchester to Basingstoke train. I understand that the quiet zone is something of a joke - even I have a chuckle when a SWT manager on my way home regularly chases up sick employees on his mobile.

But back to Mr Mobile phone man. When a train goes through a long tunnel, there is no point talking more loudly into your phone in an attempt to carry on your conversation. They don't work like that.

Maybe he was hoping his voice would just carry on its own and it wouldn't matter that he couldn't get a signal ...

Our train ground to a halt outside waterloo,After being stationary for 15 mins people started calling work/home saying they were stuck on the train late etc.One commuter was shouting loudly into his phone explaining his predicament.After ending his call another commuter shouted out " why didnt you just open the window mate & shout ,he would have still heard you"
The whole carriage cracked up laughing!

Had a mobile phone half wit pull out on me this morning when i was coming down from Tower Gateway towards Southwark Bridge although I didn't realise he was using his mobile till I got up close.

The C2C Quiet Zones are supposed to be getting screened windows as that people can't make phone calls.

Top marks to hackers!

As for your big-mouthed manager - what a c0ck. I haven't seen him in a while but he struck me as someone who thought their day complete if they'd done somebody a bad turn.

I once read a letter from a man who had been on a train where another passenger was on his mobile brating his wife in a VERY LOUD VOICE FOR A VERY LONG TIME. People the other end of the carriage had long since abandoned their books and flocks of bird were taking flight from alongside the tracks.

The train pulled into a station, passengers rose to get off. One of them, a woman, leaned over phone-mans shoulder and said clearly "who are you talking to darling, come back to bed".

Slightly OT...

There was a cartoon in the "Metro" last week accompanying an article on Google Latitude..

The picture was a guy on a mobile on a train and the caption "Ill hang up now - You're going into a tunnel!"
