A pub called the Gin Club in Hove, England, has set up a system that weakens mobile phone reception, meaning customers are unable to use their phones while inside. The owner said he set up the system because he wanted people to enjoy themselves without being interrupted or distracted by their phones. The phone signals are weakened because silver foil and copper mesh have been placed inside the walls of the establishment, thereby making it difficult for phones to have good reception. The pub's owner said that so far, customers say they like the system and it is having its desired effect.
