11. ABOUT MOBILE PHONES The wonderful thing about mobile phones is that wherever you are, whatever you are doing, you can keep it switched off so no one will bother you. If you do use them, you can make calls from virtually anywhere. For example, you can call the office from underneath your blanket and say you are on the way to your partner’s firm.

12. There are two places where everybody automatically hates you if your mobile rings – restaurants and funerals. In both cases it’s best to give the impression that the call is so important that you absolutely had to answer it. When mobile phones first arrived, the only people to have them were estate agents or drug dealers. Now respectable people use them.

For men, on the other hand, having a mobile phone is a chance to pretend you spend a lot of time working on oil rigs or other tough, remote locations, even if it rings when you are in the local shop. Of course, mobile phones are especially useful for anyone who spends a lot of time away from the office. Most bosses, for example.
