          I only got a mobile a few weeks ago because my landline had a fault that lasted two weeks. I've lost it already ... can't be bothered to look for it. They're horrid things :frown:

                    I had a mate who had a pay as you go phone a few years ago.
                    He said I got the phone for his own use, so he never let anyone else know his number and it was for emergencies only.
                    Well, one day he broke down and decided to call out the AA, trouble was he hadn't used it for 3 months and Vodafone had shut it down and took all his calling credit.:biggrin:

                            There has never been a public phone box within miles of us in the 50+ years we have been here. :rolleyespink:
