o.uk...

I bought a (very non-smart) phone in 2003 and had to go back into
the shop to ask how to turn it on. You press *and hold* the red
"hang up" button.

You could have got real radical and read the ****ing quick start guide.

My cordless phone handsets are like that but that
button also has the traditional power icon on it too.

Â*Who would think of that?

Anyone who has enough of a clue to read the quick start guide.

(There was a 1/0 power symbol on the button but it was *very* tiny.)

And you were too stupid to read the quick start guide.

There wasn't one.

Dont believe that.

It's on page 10 of the manual.

And you were too stupid to read that when you couldnt work out how to
turn it on.

Cant get any more stupid than that.

Since I was still just outside the shop, it was easier to go back in and
ask the man something he might have explained anyway.
