But on the other hand, they are useful to phone parents if you are feeling ill and need to be picked up.

Why can’t the phones be put in a box or drawer until home time?

I have always thought it rude to play games on a smartphone at meal times or on an outing.

Nobody seems to talk to each other any more, ‘only me’.

Funny thing is, I always watch the five o’clock news on Channel 5 and the other night a doctor told how children should only play games on their phones for two hours a day as more could ruin their health.

I enjoyed playing board games with my five daughters when they were young.

As I always say, the old days were the best, when you had to go out to a red phone box to get a doctor to come to your house.

I have never had a boring life, for which I am grateful, but the young today get bored too much.

Maybe more clubs could help.

We had them and made lots of friends.
