HOW many of the "dozens of protesters" outlined in your report 'Mobile groan', (September 3) own a mobile phone?
They are rightly aghast at the idea of an eight-metre high mobile phone mast on Albemarle Road and are all "concerned about the health impact for people", especially children at nearby Millthorpe School.
So clamping their phones to their heads throughout the day is not having an impact on their health? If they believe there is danger from living near a mast, built to service them and their phones by the way, how is owning a mobile any less risk?
Presumably the protesters all wish to keep their phones, but wish to have the masts that serve their phones built in other people's communities instead.
This rings of hypocrisy. Why not make the ultimate protest. Chuck the phone. Life will be simpler and pleasanter without it. Many consider phones a serious danger to health - which they are - it might save your life. Vicki Hill,
