Madam, – The call by the Bishops of London and Liverpool for all of us to do without technology (including iPods and mobile phones) for a day during Lent gets my vote (Breaking News, February 16th). But why for one day, why not make it 40?
Am I alone in being irritated by the constant inane chatter – on public transport particularly – of individuals using mobile phones. The use also of iPods, with their infernal racket, is a further addition to the noise pollution and makes life on crowded commuter trains and buses more intolerable than it already is. Hats off to the bishops. – Yours, etc,
