The are serious discussions about removing the restriction on using

Regardless of the safety aspects, I'd happily have the things banned on
trains, let alone aircraft.

Nothing worse than listening to business people on trains yacking on and
on and bloody on about how self important they are and bossing their
underlings around.

It may well appear that way to you, but one of the supposed advantages
of travelling by train is the ability to work. Seeing as my job
pretty much consists of communicating with other people, using the
phone is a significant part of it.

Yes but IME the volume of genuine work related communication relative to
utter bollocks and personal calls is very small. It would also help if
people had personal volume controls on their gobs - not everyone wishes
to hear the conversation.

Still let's leave it here - this is a subject we won't agree on.
