It's completely ubiquitous here.Everyone walks along talking at the tops of their voices, and now that the headsets are so widespread and there's no phone visible, it just looks as if everyone is gibbering to themselves. In a way they are I suppose.

Indeed.About a decade ago, just as your mobile phones were making the big time, I saw a bloke walking around Mayfair shouting at himself angrily, looking a little crazed in his fancy suit. It took me a while to realise that he wasn't a mad `un, but in fact had some kind of headset wired up to his mobile phone.
I still haven't got used to the sight of people using headsets. They all look mental to me.

I had an architecton a project who would regularly, during face to face conversations, have his phone on auto answer and launch into conversation with his caller via headset without even pausing to excuse himself to me.
He eventually stopped this. I had a word with him.
