And talking on the phone whilst driving is illegal here as well. That's a whole other issue than talking whilst standing in a store though. Until they make THAT illegal, then it will simply be an essential part of life for some, and an annoyance for others.
btw I have two cellphones - does that mean I can be doubly annoying? If so, please can someone point me in the direction of the nearest store?

Bandit, I used to have that same phone. Only mine was red. For us peeps here in the U.S., cell phones and coverage were quite expensive in the 1990's. The only people I knew who had cell phones were people who had their own business or whose job paid for the phone. My cell phone plan wanted to charge us $40 a month extra for text messaging, which was a no for us. If I need to talk to someone, I just call them and if they can't answer, it's not a big deal. I just leave a message and talk to them when they are able. I do have a friend who would call my home phone first, then if I didn't answer, she'd call my cell phone. Well, if I dont' answer my cell phone, it means I'm in the basement on my computer. She asked me why I wouldn't have my cell phone down here in the basement with me? WTF- I told her that normally people do not get a signal underground that I know of. And then when I didn't answer the phones, she would email 600 times until I called her back for her "emergency", which was usually did I want to go to lunch in 3 days! I think she got the message when I stopped taking all of her calls and didn't respond to the emails either. she is another text addict too.

Sadly enough, my phone is like a third arm to me. I always have it with me, always texting, calling, surfing the web, sending IM's, listening to music. I try not to be rude about it in public, though I am sure one time or another I have been. Sorry! Luckily my phone is provided by my job. There is only one problem I have with it. I never do the most crucial thing...charge it!
