Subject: RE: Folklore: Is this an urban myth?
A little off-topic.
I used to take an elderly friend, the widow of a musician we had recorded, into our County Town, to sort out bits of business she had to sort out with the bank there.
On one trip, I left sitting her in my van in order to nip into the bookshop.
When I came out I apologised for the time I'd been away; she replied, "I'm fine, I've been watching all these young women walking around with mobile homes pressed to their ears".
