If everyone were sensible with their phones, there would be no problem, but it will always be spoilt by someone, as you say, usually the machine driver. They shouldn't be able to get away with it, imo.
As Sean, I use mine for the calculator function on an almost hourly basis, so, so useful.

Householders who don't offer a cuppa, what's wrong with people!!!
First thing I do when I get a visitor is offer them tea/coffee. Some biscuits or a snack if they're staying for a while.
I'm sorry but things like that give me the hump.
I might be naive but I'd like think that if you treat someone properly they'll do the same in return.
Perhaps I'm wrong, perhaps they'll think I'm a soft touch and will take the piss?

Was on a job last year for six months, biggest private landscaping job I've ever done. Beverage offers: 0.
Always the same, the client's wealth is in inverse proportion to his generosity.
Next job, fence for a little old lady in a semi. Bacon sandwiches, kitkats, scarcely had time to finish one cuppa before the next came out.

The week has gone well with mobile use being down to a minimum.One of the lads dad was on the phone in the week saying that i'm ripping his son off and that he was a tad upset at being docked 4 hours pay.My reply was "he can text and phone people next week to his hearts content, cos i have no work on"

I remember on one drainage job I went on, the women was showing us around the back garden (full of dog sh1t) indicating where the manhole was and she stood in dog shit, as she was wearing sandles it curled up in between her toes (alarm bells are ringing). She then offered me and the gaffer a cuppa (I said yes but there was bloody no chance i was going to drink it) she came out with the brew and the dog sh1t was still inbetween her toes!!! I chucked mine and as I chuckled to myself (never mentioned her hygiene to the gaffer) I just heard a urghhh he found a cornflake and a pubic hair stuck at the bottom of the cup. Priceless. Its funny what you remember that was over 12 years ago!!

Read somewhere, if a woman wants a man to fall in love with her, she makes a love potion with pubes etc, added to it. Did he, or at least spend a night with her? :laugh:
