Mobile phones should only be used in an emergency when travelling. This is the new law I want to see passed to make my life so much easier. As it is, my boss calls me from every train, taxi and car, expecting me to drop everything I am doing and make copious notes about new ideas he's just had, take dictation for six page letters, and asking me to go to his PC and find emails that he received three or four months ago.

And now, now, I am told that some time very soon we are to be allowed to use mobiles on aircraft. NO-O-O-O-O! Please, no. My only peaceful hours are when my boss is in the air. I look forward to them, and treasure them.

If he goes on holiday, I cannot look forward to a fortnight of peace because he will call me from all over the world, asking me to find scraps of paper on his desk, to find phone numbers for people whose full names he can't remember, to tax his car without any paperwork, and to remember his password for eBay.

Whoever is in charge, and I do include God in this prayer, please do NOT allow the use of mobile phones on aircraft. Please, please, please!
