Mobile Free Zone on Virgin Trains.

Reading this blog Stores commit active discrimination on Funny old Life

Reminds me when I was travelling from Chester to ( I cant remember where)on a virgin train.
I was pleased to find a mobile free zone carriage pulled up as it drove me nuts, when people using the phone when sat in front or behind me ,I get the whinny and crackly noise every time they use the phone and on top of that they are shouting “ HELLO? HELLO? CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES I AM ON THE TRAIN!!!”

So here I sat in seat feeling pleased with myself but I hadn’t bargained that everyone be sending text every 5 seconds. Arrrrggghh They set the phone beep messages to off when receiving messages
Sending a message makes bzzzzz crack bzzzzzz.
Receiving message gives a bzzzzzz crackl bzzzzzz

ARRGGGH

Complained to the staff  ,but the mobile phone free carriage states that they can’t use the phone talking as it annoys other passengers but it  does not apply to text messages!!!

Glad the digital hearing aids don’t pick anything like that up.

    At least you can just switch your hearing aids off for some peace.
