    Yep, all mobile phones. It’s quite sad that one of London’s icons, the red phone box, is now almost redundant. You can see my photo project on that subject here http://notanda.wordpress.com/2011/05/13/

    I am not sure (yet) which group I find more irritating, the texters with their habit of walking into you or the ones making phone calls, invariably with a loud voice and regardless of the location.

    Not healthy, not healthy at all: witness the texters frantically checking every few minutes if there is a text for them and the talkers pacing up and down like a tiger in a cage whilst they sort out their mundane lives.

    For some (of my) ‘evidence’ go here on Flickr: “Techno-ZOMBIE-fication” http://bit.ly/osi1sk

    @Mel quote: “A private, soundproof space away from the noise and bustle of a crowded city…”

    An ideal place for me to make my mobile calls from  ;-)
