Dear Editor,

I plead guilty to becoming quite irked every time I observe a cellular telephone being used in a blatantly ostentatious manner. Like at the wheel of a car, in church, or as I swear I once saw, by a bridegroom as he stepped down the aisle, his new bride on his arm.

Intrusive cellular telephone advertisements have been making my evening TV viewing most tedious and unpleasant, but at least, I have my remote.

And have your readers noticed that when bandits are shot or apprehended, their accoutrements invariably include one or two cellular telephones.

But if the instrument in question has not hitherto been amongst my favourite things, I was very pleased to read in your newspaper how the Non Pariel housewife showed the courage, and had the presence of mind to use her cellular telephone to call her neighbours, who in turn summoned the Police, that they could come speedily to the crime scene, and bring the matter to a conclusion.

This incident has to be a big plus for the cellular, and I want to believe that the Non Pariel episode could be the basis of a far more meaningful TV advert than the trite ones we have to watch.

There should be sufficient suitable actors and actresses around to play the roles.

By the way, did your reporter ascertain whether the brave Non Pariel lady had used a CELLINK or a DIGICEL? We should be told.

Yours faithfully,

Josh Ragnauth
