I've just come back from said 'Kit Hill Country Park' in Cornwall, and I must say that although I was looking forward to the trip, I came back a little upset.
For those who don't know, Kit Hill is a tall hill on the edge of Cornwall, just outside Callington, and in previous years was a site of tin mining. When the mine was closed they kept the main chimney stacks and eventually the whole area was 'given' to Cornwall as a reminder of its former history.
Now I find that in the year 2001 the main stack is a rather picturesque Mobile 'phone mast, with many microwave transmitters bolted on to the brickwork.
So ask yourself... Can we allow this 'vandalism' of historical monuments to continue whilst people stop masts being placed on buildings? or will Snowdon, Nelsons column and the Giant Metal Prawn of Plymouth become the next masting points for the SMS junkies.
