"Remember When" (The Argus Weekend, October 27) shows a photo of King Edward VII and the Hon John Scott Montague taken in 1899.

I must admit I really did not know the mobile phone menace was already prevalent at the time. Studying the picture carefully, it is quite obvious the Hon Scott Montague is using one.

Additionally, neither of the gentlemen is touching the car's steering wheel, giving a whole new meaning to "hands-free" when referring to mobile phones.
