What do you think about people who prefer not to have mobile phones? The

I prefer not to have a mobile phone.

I can fully inderstand why somneone would want an older style clock if you didn't want battery hassles and it's for someone that's used to , a clear easy to read dial and a proper bell ring rather than an annoying bleep bleep.

I'm sure I used to know the reason why analogue clocks appear on show as 10:09 .





My Android phone has several alarms loaded, with difference times and
repeat patterns (weekdays, weekends etc).

They all make a "Nuclear Alert Siren" sound with slow crescendo - that
never fails to wake me. and the alarms don't give up after 1 minute.

I could never go back to an "alarm clock" now....
