I mean, it is well known Sun-reader territory. Yet Heinz's comment (below) is hardly disagreeing with my point of view, neither was the chap who suggested that I buy a plugin-type phones rather that a cordless. So get your facts right, please.Nothing I say represents any past, present or future employer.0

Having flicked through a discarded copy of the Sun on the train the other day I was a bit surprised to find that 'Page 3' seems to no longer exist!Stompa0 -

I forgot to mention that baby alarm monitors - which are also wi-fi - are a risk to babies' health according to various independent medical experts (link enclosed).
This info might be of interest to concerned parents wishing to take a precautionary approach to mobile radiation exposure, as suggested by various government bodies and charities like Cancer UK..
Cheers.

'Radiation from baby monitors 'poses risk'
Infants being harmed by safety devices, say scientists
By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor
Sunday, 20 May 2007
The Independent
"Baby monitors, bought by parents to keep their children safe, may instead be harming them, some scientists fear. They warn that the devices are bathing the infants in radiation at an age when they are most vulnerable to it...."

Guess you won't be taking your children to holiday in Cornwall or Wales, either. And don't let them near playparks - all those deathtrap swings and roundabouts. Don't forget charcoal filters for walking city streets. And don't drive them to school - terrible for their fitness.
I'm sure all these protections will keep them very healthy. (You may also want to start saving a trust fund to contribute to the psychologist's bills if they turn out to have an aversion to the bubble-wrapping.)0 -

Best not switch your PC on, best not switch your monitor on, best not switch your TV on, best not switch your radio on, best not switch on the modem, the router, the microwave, lights.
Only problem is can you prevent everyone else around you using anything electrical, can you get the electricity board to switch off the electric?It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!(OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)0 -
found this interesting article about the Dr quoted
http://dcscience.net/?p=129#more-129
The Institute of Science in Society purports to be about promoting a socially responsible approach to science. It combines some reasonable stuff about global warming with a lot of utter rubbish about homeopathy (mainly written by the Institute’s director, Dr Mae-Wan Ho).
Dr Mae-Wan Ho, who is listed as “Reader in Biology at the Open University” (that’s odd -no trace of her on the Open University web site)
It is sad that an organisation with a respectable sounding title like the Institute of Science in Society is being used to propagate some pure pseudo-scientific gobblydegook. Is it any wonder that journalists and the general public get confusedEx forum ambassador

HERE you go Tinfish - see if you can save your kids more cheaply.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0
