Interesting to see that the Green Jackets who are in charge of Rules at Atlanta, Georgia 'masters'Golf Championship, have banned mobile phones on the whole site. Either leave at home or hand over in the car park: 1 public box - remember those
- behind Bunker 6 for emergency use.
I believe that mobiles should be banned from all Theatres etc., how awful for performers to be interrupted by continual flashes as well as Copyright issues when people film complete shows!
.
We don't take our mobiles or laptops to bed, the former are switched off. 1 very old mobile is used as an alarm when required which isn't fortunately, very often. I won't answer the land line in the night, when we were On Call it was essential but not now. Some are cold/rubbish calls anyway! Bad enough in the day.
So sporting events i.e. snooker, billiards, golf, tennis tournaments ........ no mobiles. None in theatre situations.
I would ban constant use on public transport too. Those that wander around with buds in their ears cannot possibly be spatially aware and so vulnerable to being mugged/worse.
