I have been to all those countries with no ill effects. Well, of late, Mr.Unruh has uttered some ... hmmm ... 'special' opinions, so we probably shouldn't pay too much attention to this uninformed rant either, especially considering his other/further uninformed/misinformed responses in this thread. Note to self: Must remind myself that - according to Mr.Unruh - my phone does *not* work all over Europe, the US, Australia, Singapore, etc.. Likewise, I shouldn't accept any mobile calls from someone in the US, pretending to be my son.
