I have a bubble app on my smart phone which can be used to find the most level part of the pitch, HS or otherwise, and it doesn't need site wifi or mobi data to use it.

There you go, no off topic stuff involved.😆

I suppose that you use a mobile phone a lot then. I have dumb phone and probably sent two texts since lockdown and taken 2 calls. Hence I prefer site wifi or our own mifi. OH has a smart phone for when she doesn't want to carry a camera and has probably made two calls on it in 12 months.

ET, so you just charge it up & let it sit there until it needs charging again🤷🏻‍♂️. I have Apps to engage with, reminders set, my bank with me, I use it to pay for things, weather, satnav, an encyclopaedia, maps, camera-that’s not even scratching the surface of how useful they are. I love my phone👍🏻

PS-it’s a shocker that, ET not phoning Home😊

We've just bought some light bulbs from Wiiko that links to your wifi and you can control them (on off, brightness, even colour, timer) through a phone app from anywhere with a data signal.

Tested it from a few miles away and spent a happy 10 minutes last night sitting in the garden making a light show inside the housesmile

Useful for when being away for security.

In normal times (to use a well worn phrase) It means that I am contactable when away from home. However when I am at home folk call my landline. As for charging it I do so about every 10 to 14 days lest I forget.

That's all well and good but does it fit in the ticket pocket of one of your jackets? The point being that mine is easier to carry for me. It sits in my right hand front trouser pocket and I am accessible anywhere all the wakening day. 

I also can set reminders, wallet and cards in left pocket, premier customer with main bank and excellent phone service, satnav in car where it belongs and often tablet in there too.

You say you love your phone, I love mine for its ability to get lost in my trouser pocket. I love it that much that I bought two. laughing One as a spare and to hell with the expense wink

Alexa sorts it on my echo dots. ‘Alexa-lounge lighting to low’ bang she sorts it. Geez I love tech😊

yup, the world is our Lobster.

I don’t know what a ticket pocket size is🤷🏻‍♂️ My phone is slim, thin & light it happily sits in my cargo pocket. Everything is in one place & cant be lost or mislaid. If yours is a clamshell I expect it’s older & low tech.

Mmm, I remember clamshells were quite thick and bulky by their very nature. 

My only regret with the smart phone is that I didn't make the change earlier. It wasn't until about 7 years ago that I realised I was missing out when a friend sang the praises of his 4s and I saw a whole new World out there.👍
