[clug] Finding your smartphone... [Where did I put it down?]

[Peter VK1PE]

About a year ago, my wife bought a "2PCK SONIC KEYFINDER ON BLISTER" -- 
"JUST WHISTLE TO ACTIVATE" -- "WITH FLASHING LIGHT" -- "NEVER LOSE YOUR 
KEYS AGAIN".

can i go somewhat quieter, now? ... (It was probably in a "cheapie 
shop"; actually, from the price label, "HOMEBASE STORE TEL:(02)6232 
4884" . The price was $2.50.)

The maker is "/ctc/" (in italics; no company details or URL or anything 
else....)

Anyway, we put the supplied "hearing-aid" batteries in one and it was a 
major FLOP (no italics or caps needed, actually, as I was not the person 
singularly unimpressed!)

So, if you have the price of a cup of coffee to spare, then be lavish 
and also buy a.... whatever.
