The joy of text
I've just been reading online that there is a seven week course being taught to pensioners in Scotland about how to use mobile phones for texting. What a fab idea!
As well as the basic mobile phone functions, it even goes into the lingo of mobile phone speak and how to translate it. No doubt it'll soon be commonplace for Scottish grannies to be texting each other things like "wud u want2 meet l8r 2 av cup of t", or even row about who pays ("put ur purse away!")
Happily my own Mum and Dad are now champion texters. This allows Mum to check on my wellbeing while sat on the bus ("ello son ow r u") or for Dad to vent his anxieties about the football in text form.
Mum has even graduated to being an internet and email whizz - which is some feat given her shaky start to texting.
Obviously impressed by my ability to put kisses at the end of my texts to her, and wanting to do the same in return, she once asked me where the kiss button was.
"It's the letter x mum" was my amused response.
