I see them walking along head down texting and whatever and ensure I’m in their way and make them move, it’s an epidemic. It’s as though life itself depends on what’s being said on faecesbook and they can’t miss out on a moment.

2 foot deep isn't enough as it would get filled up too quickly.

Of bigger concern is the effect social media seems to be having on the mental health of a decent proportion of the younger generations.

It seems to me that some think that everything said to or about them should be treated as something to worry about.

It's a real problem, and this all comes back to the world of social media being like The Wild West with Facebook, twitter and the others doing little to regulate the world they built.

Social media is the perfect forum for bullies as there is bugger all accountability.

So.....
Does this mean every Motorway, A, B, & C road will have another lane installed to accommodate texting drivers? Make it two extra lanes, we don't want the cereal bowl drivers missing out.

There is no doubt that electronic communication has advanced the world in many ways.

But not when Tracy is standing in front of me at ghe sandwich display and calling Sharon to read out every type of sandwich she can get for her.

Probably twice.

Don't even mention a good friend of mine who can't let anyone else book a hotel for a break without them getting on the phone and reading out every review they can find. Normally after I have gone to bed.

I refuse to move & just plough straight on, I'm not a big bloke but when I'm ready for it then it seems to have the desired effect, eg sending some f**ckwit flying :D Not managed to get one out into oncoming traffic yet but I'm working on my technique :D
