It's a common complaint. You're out for a drink with friends or family and someone around the table is constantly distracted by their smartphone. The owner of one bar on the south coast of England has become so fed up with it that he's blocked all phone signals on the premises. He's installed an electric shield, known as a Faraday cage, around the whole bar. Steve Tyler is the owner of the bar and explains why he decided to banish phone chatter.
