putees...tartan???

[Jock Scot]

Just for the record, lads, I must report that the wristwatch is now completely out of fashion. If you ask an 18-year-old for the time, the look at their PHONE!

Good lord do they? Can you tell the time from your mobile phone?

Good lord do they? Can you tell the time from your mobile phone?

Yes, it can be done. Here's how:

1) hold your phone perfectly flat in the palm of your hand, with the screen facing up.
2) now point your phone due north.
3) balance a golf tee in the centre of the screen.
4) the mobile phone will now work like a sun dial, and the shadow of the golf tee will indicate the approximate time.
5) be sure to take into consideration whether or not you are on summer time.

NB: after dark it is advisable to use a wooden match or a paraffin cigar lighter to create enough light to cause the golf tee to cast a shadow. The results obtained using this method may, however, be less accurate than those obtained by following the above instructions.

I hope that helps.
