A recent survey by Carphone Warehouse has come up with some very interesting facts about mobile phone losses. Apparently the very worst time of the year for losing your mobile is a Saturday in mid-August, and pubs, clubs and public transport are the most likely place to mislay them. Not surprisingly, 28% said they had lost their phone while drinking alcohol. The most common time for them going missing is between 3pm and 6pm, but if you live down South, it's between 7pm and 8pm. In East Anglia it's 1pm (goodness knows why!!).

The summer increase can probably be put down to wearing less clothes and therefore having less pockets to put your phone. So here at losersweepers we urge anyone planning a short break to East Anglia in August and going out scantily clad at 1pm, to take extra care of your Nokia!
