Are you a mod or or a beatnik, daddy-o?
There IS a difference, though, today it is as blurred as the distinction
between rockabilly and swing (which the Gap and Brian (washed-up) Setzer
managed to blur right off the map.)

*F Off! I'm NOT RETRO!!! I didn't say I don't want a phone cos they weren't

*
*I just think they are really square.
*
*And yes! So is my job.... but it pays for all the non-square stuff don't

*Most mods did crap jobs didn't they - the working-class remember -

*
*A lot of mods are builders or dustmen/women etc.

*
*Nah! You're wrong!!
*As Jon said - those old phone booths are much cooler than a 'mobile'.....
*you Americans just have NO style!!
*
*I admit they can come in handy in emergencies.... but they ain't cool
*daddio!
