@lyse what happens if you get stranded with a broken car in the middle of no where? Or if an emergency comes up where there is no landline? In the US landlines are disappearing, mobile phones have taken their place.

@lyse a risk taker! Next you are telling us you often do bungee jumping! :-D Kidding, kidding. I know someone around here that does similarly; no mobile phones. He sure stands out like a sore thumb!
