Which model did you buy? Tablets seem to be all the rage at the moment. We have relatives visiting and they've brought their iPads with them. I think there's a new pastime - "communal tapping", in which everyone sits around in a circle tapping on their tablets and not engaging with each other at all.

Christmas, the time when families come together and .... ignore each other. Don't you love it? :biggrin::biggrin:

I can't understand when someone in a car goes into a shop & whilst they are there their passenger then calls them on their mobile to tell them what they want.

lol, Ian thats funny, i have had someone phone me with an order, and say hang on, then call a mate tell them what they are ordering, and then come back to me - ordered another t shirt so i guess that was ok

Thanks Laura. The conversation I once heard was 'no they haven't got any beef crisps so, what else would you like'. Then he had to say which flavours of crisps they did have. Then it came to getting a drink & he told his friend in the car all the various drinks they had & this went on for about 10 minutes & I was doing all I could not to laugh. It was like doing remote stock taking to someone sat outside in a car............lol.
