I have never been a fan of mobile phones. I know they are supposed to keep you in touch wherever you are, but do you want that ? When I am out and about I don’t want to be interrupted all the time. In any event I have never quite mastered all the tiny keys.

I understand they are useful in emergencies and that smart phones have more applications than a rocket to the moon. But I am not going there any time soon.

So, although I have a cheap mobile, I only take it with me when I think there is going to be an emergency. Otherwise it just sits on a desk at home receiving text messages that I don’t open. So you could say I am a limited user. Or maybe a mobile telephone dinosaur.

Reading the paper recently I was interested to see that diplomats visiting China were being issued with “burner phones”, which are apparently more secure then ordinary mobile phones. I had no idea what a “burner phone was, so I googled it. It turns out that my little old fashioned mobile is a “burner phone”. What do you know I am ahead of my self, I might have known. That must be why nobody rings my mobile. I’m totally secure.

Drug dealers use “burner phones” because they can’t be traced. Perhaps I have a whole new career in front of me🤡
