Manners Schmanners - Or VoIP Invades The Inner Sanctum

A recent survey by Skype revealed probably more than we really wanted to know. After polling 1000 people, Skype learned that the Brits could use a lesson or two from Emily Post, particularly on telephone etiquette. Nearly 75% of those surveyed admitted that they carried on phone conversations while using the restroom. Okay then.
Skype was conducting the survey as part of their Talk for Britain campaign that launched last week. The campaign offers Skype users free calls made within the UK, to UK landlines, for the next six months if they purchase 10 pounds of Skype credit.
Think the toilet talk was the worst of it? It probably was, but the survey also found that 17% of people had fallen asleep whilst in the midst of a telephone conversation and nearly a quarter were talking to people they shouldn’t have been. Do tell.
