One amongst many plus point about living in Germany is mobile phone
etiquette. Every now and again there are the shouters**, but by and
large people seem far more considerate in terms of phone use in public
places. I noticed the difference on a trip to the UK late March/early
April this year - back to the Land of the Loud-Mouthed.
* Had two of the bastards on the M48 bus last night - one in front of
me was yelling into his phone, and some scumbag sitting behind me had
his mobile phone/portable device (whatever) blasting out tinny music
for everyone else to hear. BTW, neither of these two noisy idiots were
German.
