AFTER reading about the objections to the mast in the church at Shipton-by-Beningborough, I cannot understand the logic of parents today.

They go out in droves and buy mobile phones for their children, even after all the hype over brain damage, and then complain because the phone companies want to improve services to the customer. If mobile phones are so bad for us then why have so many people got one - especially children?
