The only signal in the village

The Sun Online - News: The only signal in the village:

LOCALS have been queuing to use a bench on their village green . . . because it is the only place they can make a mobile phone call.

Residents discovered that by standing on the seat they can get a signal.

Now the parish council in East Prawle, Devon, is building a 2ft podium for them to use.

The nearest phone mast is two miles away.

A councillor said: “We’re against masts, now we don’t need one.”
