Incoming call

A TEENAGE West Lothian girl came downstairs to tell her parents she dropped her phone on her face and gave herself a nosebleed – a common danger for teenagers who use their mobile phones to text while lying down.

Her demeanour wasn't helped by her father claiming: "In my day if I'd dropped a phone on my face when I was 15 I would probably have knocked myself out.

"Of course I would have had to unscrew it from the wall in the hall first."
