So recently I went into a local cafe near the village that I live in to get a coffee.
As I walked in, I saw this …
When I saw it, I couldn’t help think about this scene – at 2 minutes 40 seconds – from the brilliant rockumentary, Spinal Tap.
What happens to their till when you use your phone?
Does it start coming up with random prices?
Does it write 54377017 … only the oldies will get that reference.
Bizarrely, I followed orders and didn’t use my phone for anything other than taking that photo … possibly because the Spinal Tap situation happened to me once.
Bangkok Shakes were playing a gig at a venue called The Mill, in Nottingham.
Carlsboro Sound had lent me their latest wireless guitar system to try out on stage and I was so excited about it … or I was until it picked up and broadcast the local taxi firm radio conversations.
Never used it again.
Which all goes to say Spinal Tap isn’t a comedy, it’s a documentary.

Comment by George October 9, 2020 @ 7:49 amIf a mobile phone can affect their till, the mobile phone is not the problem.
Comment by George October 9, 2020 @ 7:50 amI wonder if it’s true or they just don’t want people talking when they should be ordering?
