Hutchinson 3G have been trying to put up a mobile phone mast for ages around here.

There's a farm that's been converted into a childrens' nursery and so far they've tried twice to get a mast put up very close to the nursery. First behind it on a field (was rejected planning permession after a protest) and secondly on a nice path I walk my dog. They didn't get permission for that either.

However on appeal they got permission to put it up. They claim "by law they have to cover 90%" of the UK - but according to their web site the whole of my area is rated Excellent for coverage.

And the sad thing is if we got the Conservative MP he would have actively fought it. But no, the fat labour woman had to get back in again. Then again she may have her uses. We could position her next to it and she'd absorb all the radiation.

I would love to, unfortunately I've got 6 months left on my contract.
The service is poor (especially customer service - which is based in India - they are extremely quiet and hard to understand); I believe they are charging for things I haven't brought/used; the phone itself has a tendancy to crash; 3G access can be poor.

I would get a petition going - the same thing is happening around here too.

Yeah, totally ... our representative is a fat woman with a bob cut too and she is useless!

They should get someone young and full of life to be a representative not a fat and ugly man / woman who has no interest in anything.

they try to disguise them as palm trees or trees etc, here.

theres a classic one on the gold coast, it looks like a palm tree except its like 3 times the size and you can see the transmitters if you look close enough

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself 
