This week: We had some very strong reactions to our question a few weeks back about bringing your mobile phone into the bathroom with you. (Or more specifically, using it while seated on the… er, throne.)

Poll Results:
E - Jeez, people, put the phone away! (873)
D - It's okay to text but not to take/make calls (827)
C - Yes, but just to take urgent calls (606)
B - Yes, to take calls (not make) and to text (297)
A -Yes, you should be able to use it for anything (136)
