Today a picture of a guy who served us in a phone shop. Before going in we braced ourselves for the inevitable .... more money, more confusion, less hope & indifferent service for folks who don't need all-singing, all-dancing phones and contracts. However, we were delighted by the service, the help and chuffed coming out of the shop with a significantly better deal and saving money. I asked if I could take the guy's photo and explained a bit about three and a half years of blipping, so here's Jason. Thanks for helping.

Mobile phones .....
The first mobile call was made on April 3, 1973
The weight of the phone used to make that call was about the same as a bag of sugar

Celina Aarons, from Florida, is thought to hold the dubious honour of having racked up the highest ever mobile phone bill.

The result was a £142,000 bill, which was later reduced to £1,800 by the phone company
In the UK a mobile phone is stolen every three minutes
The world's most expensive mobile phone cost £6.7million
