How DID we cope before mobiles...?

THE network failure which left O2 customers without a connection for a day has got people talking on the M.E.N. Facebook page... DISGUSTING. I waited for a delivery all day which couldn’t be delivered because drivers couldn’t use their app

PEOPLE need to chill out. And stop complaining. Technical glitches happen from time to time. It was one day.

I’VE read reports that people were actually forced into having face-to face-conversations during the O2 outage. Happily, normality has been restored and this unusual method of communication was just a one-off.

HOWEVER did we all manage before we had a phone permanently in our hands?

ON a positive note my eyesight vastly improved without an internet connection.

ALL of you who think ‘What’s a day without yer mobile phone’ ... tell that to the emergency services who rely on communications. You know, the ones who race to your relatives in times of trouble or illness. Different story then isn’t it?

Martin Blackburn

EVERYONE get over it. One day with no data wasn’t too bad, it was actually quite nice to not be able to pick my phone up out of habit and actually get things done.
