I don’t know Minx. I am careful about how I use Spotify as I am on my daughter’s family account, I don’t know much about it other than I like it very much (except when they remaster favourite albums and stick in an interview with the artist - I really don’t care what Ian Anderson was thinking when he made “Aqualung”).

I recall that incident. So tragic. You missed the crash scene by an hour. How horrifying.
It’s easy to answer a call Bruce, just press the right button

Yes I have an obsolete IPad too. Battery fine but nothing works on it. It’s probably 11 years old.
I hate that Apple make their products with a use by date.
Nice song choice 
Ooops… my phone just beeped at me, I had to look…
Low Battery…
So it is goodnight from me…

Ah yes those reckless and dangerous times - i remember them well!
Every so often i read about people who were rescued from situations where, if not for their phone and the ability to be tracked, would have died - lost on a freezing mountain side, or in a capsized boat in the middle of an ocean.
So i reluctantly accept that they have their uses.
Reluctantly…

That bought me back to when my best mate Rosi and I would travel up to London each day for work…We were 16 by this time and girls will be girls. We smoked on the trains in those daft days…Commuters mainly bowler hats and nose stuck in the Financial Times…get the picture. So we smoked but they were roll ups using liquirich papers and we thought how blimin grown up we were…The Bowlers would spy us and sneer a tad…we just giggled. Once off the train at Victoria we picked which route to Saville Row we would take. Favourite route for me apart from taking in the Buckingham Palace route was via Green Park and star spot there…Goods time with all the music venues at our finger tips…no mobile phones either,.

Not just Apple but Android phones have one, too. They guarantee that updates will be available for four years or so . Without updates they soon become useless since they aren’t accepted by banks. Very annoying and simply profit-driven.

I’m happy not to use my phone for banking, preferring to check my balance etc on my home PC, and when out, pay for stuff with a contactless card.

All of my ‘repeats’ are sorted out by my nominated pharmacy and they deliver to my door on a monthly basis. I believe they submit my list to my NHS doc and then they dispense when the electronic scripts arrive.
hahaha, you are a cool person!
Gotcha with my humor. haha
Tell her to go into the settings and turn on the “do not disturb” set the clock from her bed time till breakfast time. Mine is set from 10pm till 8am, then the phone will not ring during those hours but will let the caller leave a message. Same will happen with any texts sent, you will get them all in the morning when the phone returns to working normally again. I also set it so my family are not included so they would get through in an emergency.

Trusty ol’ fliptop has always been my preference. My phone is so old it has a hand crank, and comes with a defibrillator.

I’ve owned a smart phone for quite a few years now and it’s getting a bit cranky. I find it a bit heavy to carry sometimes so only take it if I think I am going to need it. I still have an old Nokia “brick” and am tempted to take this around as it is so small and light. The sim card has lapsed so will have to fix this first. I’m not a great phone user of any kind really.

I have a smart phone but find it a nuisance to carry around, especially in summer when there aren’t so many pockets to put it in.
I also have a Doro phone that is small and light. I much prefer to take that out with me. Not smart but good enough for just being in touch if needed.

I like my smart phone, especially the camera, I have a cross body phone carrier that I use when I’ve no pockets. I always have my phone on or beside me.
