No problem here.

Reading the article the phone starting ringing - marimba ring tone - just before the final page of the symphony. Conductor was rather annoyed.

Thanks for that, Mahlerei. What incredibly bad timing. At least it was not one of the band whose iPhone misbehaved.

Check the timing of your post with that of my message and Mahlerei's edit. You might try the original link as quoted in my reply to Mahlerei, too.

Sorry for the c*ck-up. Yes, very bad timing.

Interesting point that it was (selon notre Norman) an elderly 'I don't know what it's all about' concertgoer.

What particularly interests me (as someone who only uses a mobile to contact younger members of the family by texting because they never check their emails) is how swiftly human beings have become addicted (probably in a serious, clinical sense) to their phones. Slaves even. You don't have to take it with you everywhere you go just in case you need it. Yes, yes, I know you've discovered uses that you never dreamed of . If you don't understand the technology enough to know you have a preset alarm, just get a cheap, simple phone, not a smartphone (it's smarter than you - that's your problem). And don't take it out with you unless you think YOU will need it. Fer god's sake don't try and keep up with the smarty set ... ppphhhhh!!!!

And don't have it turned on when you're out to lunch with me ..........

We would make a good twosome, FF: I have no moble phone and am always out to lunch!

Hmm, a salutary lesson. As the delightful Ms. Bott tends to remind us at the start of broadcast concerts, it is not enough to merely silence one's mobile telephone. It must be completely switched off. Best bet is to temporarily remove the battery.
