Don't panic, it's not a pint of beer (and I hasten to add I don't drink pints, my mother would scald me to high heaven: "I didn't bring you up to drink pints like a boy!").
It's all in the name of science, honest. We are testing (rather, some farmers are testing) the latest Sonim tough phone, aka the XP3 and also Land Rover's rugged mobile of choice.
So far, it's spent a fair amount of time in tractors, diggers and the like, but we thought we'd try out the 'works underwater' feature over the weekend.
And, low and behold:

However, the problem came from trying to answer it. It sounded a bit like you were in a goldfish bowl. Funny, that.
Now, hopefully you can't read the number on the phone, but if you can, his name is Chris and he's looking for a nice lady friend....
If you're looking for a tough mobile, why not have a look at our comparison here.
What a funny subject ! Now I know I can phone under my shower. Does this phone resist in a glass of beer or other acid drink ? It could be useful, I know what I say !...
Corinne gave me your blog's address. I must say that it's very well done. I really like your tone (or your tune, how do we say ?! English language is still a little bit difficult for me !)
See you later,

Hi Emily. I'm a big fan of yours and i enjoy reading your blog. What is Chris like? Sounds like you should enter him in The Farmer Wants a Wife competition.Maybe you could describe him a little more to us: height, build, eye colour.
Take it easy, catch you later.
Thanks Nicholas!
I'm not so sure it would perform so well in beer though... Maybe we can try it next week!
I'm not sure my English is a good thing to learn from!
See you soon,
Em
Hi Emily,
I was unfortunately not in Kent to test this phone in beer. But I'll be in Hannover next week, what about you ?
I'll come to Agritechnica with my crazy collegues, I hope to see you there !
See you,

Interesting point of view.Thanks for the post. - July 4. Statistics show that we lose more fools on this day than in all the other days of the year put together. This proves, by the number left in stock, that one fourth of July per year is now inadequate, the country has grown so. - Mark Twain 1835 - 1910
