Default will you ever buy something in a shop with your mobile ?

money - phones and APPS 29.5.12

its not going to work,
this country needs money,
and if everyone goes out with none,
in the head they are funny.
yes i accept we share,
on social networking sites sad'o's update a sneeze,
but paying for a cup of coffee,
help me please.
if you owe a friend,
£2 or less,
get your thinking cap on,
its more mind boggling then chess.
like "facebook this technol-edgy is needless," it will crumble,
and when the world see's my point,
i will be most humble.
muggings, accidents, crime, fraud,
it will all increase with no cap,
i see you are a internet forum user,
these are my views, please share yours on the new APP.

this was on the news this morning - and i just wondered would any of you use a phone to buy something small such as food or a pint or even a meal ?

Joe, why do you keep including on your polls an option that basically allows anonymous forum members to be as vile with you as possible? You're just saying that you welcome with open arms people being deliberately rude to you.

The first step is acceptance for him. He's getting there. Painfully slowly, but surely.

If only he could bother with the BBC Link
that goes with this story
it even has a video.

Of course he posts it
then goes to other Forums posts the same post.


Anyway as Reported today
it does not work in enough shops
so the Reporter gave it a bad report




Notice for Lady Kizzy
my post has nothing Rude in it.

No, I don't mind your poems at all. It's just that your final poll option is ridiculous. So you're actually asking members to slag off your work, especially when you always voice them in the harshest possible way? Go easy on yourself.

I didn't even know they could until Fringe had a blatant product placement in the last episode, showing someone buy a coffee with their mobile phone. Sounds unnecessary to me. Things are getting to the point where it's just laziness.

Just wondered if this is in reference to the advert I've been seeing. Where the guy swipes his mobile phone...

Either way, personally I think it's ridiculous...what's the point? Surely it is just as convenient as carrying your wallet in your pocket (or purse in handbag) that contains your bank card?
