Now is the Winter of our disconnect...

[Bbbananas]

Could you (& your family) live without tv, computer, electronic gadgets & technology etc for 3 months?

[joggerjayne]

No electronic gadgets ???

Mmm ... I'm still thinking.

[Bbbananas]

Things with batteries in would, I think, be allowed JJ. Especially if I were in charge of the whole thing ;-)

Hi Sall, probably, I like quizzes and stuff that makes me feel active like walking and weekends away without any leccy stuff, could always go to the pub...ha-ha
I enjoy reading and so does Bill, crosswords and Sudoku...so the answer is Yes! after all, I only use all above mentioned, coz it's there I suppose

[mccfluff]

things with batteries HAVE to be allowed salla or i'm not playing

[Bbbananas]

Ok, batteries allowed... But not in gameboys or hand-held computer games. Only essential items ;-)

[mccfluff]

like phones?

[Bbbananas]

Phones are essential, for emergencies. But game playing on them would not be allowed.

[mccfluff]

but accessing the internet thorugh them would be ok?

[Bbbananas]

No. I am strict.

[mccfluff]

but in case of emergencies.....

[Bbbananas]

Emergencies only. Medical stuff.
