00:00Well, my old phone was bigger than this rucksack and you used to have to carry it in a leather
00:08satchel, for want of a better word.
00:10So you were very great at that.
00:11That was the very first one.
00:12Literally, it was that big.
00:13My first phone was an iPhone 4S.
00:14What was your first phone?
00:15Yeah, mine was like Huawei.
00:16So it's a lot different because we've both got iPhone 13 now, so you've got a lot more
00:28modern features.
00:29I don't think we can live without it, especially coming here for the day, you don't know anything,
00:34you don't know where anything is.
00:35We were very dependent finding a restaurant last night to go to, so I think that's what's
00:41changed.
00:42We're a bit more dependent on it, really.
00:43Well, my first phone was just like a brick, but now, the one I've got now, you can do
00:50anything on it.
00:51You know, you've got Facebook, you've got different social media sites, so they're a
00:55lot better.
00:56Compared to what I had before, it was rubbish.
