Talking of whakos
My Mum was a psychiatric nurse and years ago in her unit one of the whakos used to pick up the ward phone when no one was around and answer internal calls.
Frequently it was doctors calling for information from the ward sister and this whacko ( who had had no medical experience or training) used to give advice and prognosis, drug recommendations etc for other patients over the phone .
This patient had been in so long that he had picked up the lingo and carried it off for over a year before being caught out.!
This is what still to be done about phones. They should have some serious built in security. Especially on mobile phones, which transmit the caller's number and have an organizer inside.
I read that 60000 mobile phones are lost in London taxis per year. Having a mobile phone full of personal information, a criminal may start to plot something.
