Surveys o' the day
Yes, they are French.
First up, do not ring a 15-17 year old boy on his mobile, as a rather loathsome 22% admit to using it in the loo. Compared to 8% of the wider public. Equally, 32% of girls 12-17% are looking for trouble as they use their mobiles in the bathroom. 4% of the Plain People of France use their mobiles in the cellar. Presumably the rest cannot get a signal. 41% of Gauls use their mobiles as torches, which is odd.
Elsewhere, 16% consider mobiles bad for French society. 91% of adolescents think that mobiles are good for adolescents, whereas only 32% of the 40+ cohort agree. Probably because they are paying for them....
Sticking with our Gallic chums, just 29% of them can, unprompted, name their regional president. My old friend Ségolène Royal does rather better, with 83% naming her as the head honchette of Poitou-Charentes. The Prexies of Centre and Nord Pas de Calais muster a laughable 7% and 8% respectively. Proving that stupidity is indeed the basic building block of the universe, fewer than two-thirds can name the political colour of their home region.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
Whilst being surprised by the high figure of 41% I must admit to using my mobile as a torch after a wrong turning in the tunnels underneath the Moorish castle in Ronda yesterday. I can't report on the reception though but I can't imagine the tunnels were designed with signal strength in mind.
So mobiles do have strange yet practical uses at the oddest of times.
