That sounds familiar - usually as he squints over his Psion!

Why not just buy a phone and keep it for say around four years. If you take the average smartphone I will wager there is little in basic operation that a phone from three years ago can't do what a phone of today will do. You buy something that loses 50% of its value in 12 months and you think that's good business acumen?

On the meal front you have heard about cooking your own I take it?”

Of course. If I want to cook some "good nutritious food" then I can do that. All I am saying is that if I choose to go out to eat I personally prefer Macdonalds to some posh restaurant. Is that "madness" ?

On the subject of phones, for a lot of people it is something they use more than any other item. Not unreasonable to spend £7 per week on it.

And people pay £.3.80 for a pint of lager when they could be spending £3.20 for a pint of cask ale. Utter madness! They should go see an accountant!”

You know you've lost an argument when you try to make comparisons to things like the price of a pint or a newspaper etc. Classic politicians response.

Only if you happen to twist the statistics to suit

You forgot to mention the other age groups in your comparison, but if you think 90% of 16-24 year olds constitutes a larger number than 87% of 25-34 year olds + 80% of 35-54 year olds + 50% of 55-64 year olds + 18% of 65+ year olds then you might have a point

It absolutely does especially as we don't know the amount of individuals in each demographic. You might also have noticed that the mid-range group are spanned across 19 years whereas the younger and older groups are just 8 and 9 years respectively. I also class 34 year olds as younger people.

I don't post on just an opinion I do a bit of research first - note to self hey!

That's nothing. when I asked my (to be) wife round to my flat for what she thought was a meal, apparently I produced a bag of crisps (a jumbo sized pack though).
