About how long have we been inflicted by the dreadful mobile phone?


Maybe twenty years? I remember in 1992, when I knew little of these things, my boss had this mobile which resembled a brick! Mine is quite oldfashioned looking - when I was given it at Christmas '2002, I wasn't overjoyed and didn't expect to use it. However it was invaluable in times of crisis, but now lies fairly unused again.

Sat-navs are among the culprits (I don't even drive so don't own one!!), and microwave ovens etc. As someone said 'It doesn't matter how small the piece of technology is'.

Thank you Tony. I am picking up useful information, and advice. The last two nights I kept a fan on all night, and to some extent, it masks the hum and I got a bit more sleep. This is fine in the current warm weather, but I don't expect to resort to using the fan for most of the year!
