As for the title of the book, it was Erica Ritchie, aged 10, who came up with the
idea of teaching grannies to use mobiles. She explained: "My grandma lives on her
own in Scotland and doesn't get many visitors. We live in England, so we don't see
her very often, but my dad gave her a mobile phone and I taught her how to send CHURCHES TOGETHER IN FELIXSTOWE
text messages. Now we text each other every day." Autumn Forum Meeting
Good one, Erica. But as for smiling at everyone you see, one wouldn't advise it on Tuesday November 11th
the London Underground. Grown-ups worry about things like that. It's a pity that 7.30pm
children - by far the most sensible members of the human race - turn into them. Salvation Army Community Hall
