...because it's such fun! But this one's easy, it must be 'celebrating', right?
A Norfolk MP who has been a prominent campaigner for better rural mobile phone coverage is objecting to plans for a new telecoms mast in his constituency.
Duncan Baker, the North Norfolk MP, is supporting locals who are opposed to proposals for a 30m high lattice tower on Thwaite Common, Erpingham.
Oh. Errr, why?
...he believes the Erpingham scheme should be scrapped, arguing the mast should not be “slap bang” in the middle of the countryside.
Where else are they supposed to put it then?
He said: “The parish council and community want better communications, but we cannot erect this mast in such an insensitive and beautiful area in a conservation zone.
“Thwaite Common is clearly an important wildlife area and this mast is wholly unsuitable for this location.”
Hey, here's an idea, maybe the telecommunications people actually know where it's best to site the equipment? Just a thought...

I got that one right
So the response of the comms company should be, 'sod you, we tried'. Then walk away. Make him beg for their return if he wants a beeter signal
An insensitive area? What could he mean?

They do masts disguised as various types of tall trees.
So build a fake wind turbine for their antenna arrays. V, V, Super good, Green.
Strew a few dead turkeys around under it for some added authenticity.
Plenty expire in the normal intense farming conditions, and they cannot be fed to cows and pigs anymore. Can they?

Most of them were culled well before Christmas due to the bird flu epidemic...

Oh, very good!
"They do masts disguised as various types of tall trees."
Yes, I've seen some of those. Not many here, though. I wonder if it makes it hard for engineers to find them for servicing!
"Most of them were culled well before Christmas due to the bird flu epidemic..."
And yet the much-touted 'turkey shortage' failed to materialise. Just like last year's...
