Hi there Andy,

 AU> passed some more feel good legislation that made  bad law.
Funny thing is though that although it is illegal, those things *because*
they are cordless can quite often get stray signals from other cordless
phones in the same street :) Sometimes you can understand whats been said,
sometimes you can't..but because while you're on the call to someone else
that you can actually get the stray frequency, I wonder if it's illegal to
stop the conversation you're having just so you can try and make out the 
stray signal :)
 
Food for thought, anyway :)
Cheers,
Frank
