getting phone signal in wales







i love wales but is there anywhere in the world that's worse for getting mobile
phone signal ?

the other day on my shoot in pembrokeshire i had an hour to kill so i took
a stroll around the village and photographed a very fetch little white house
perched right on the corner of the harbour.
needless to say, there was no signal on my phone here.








so i walked up the steps seen on the photo above, behind the white house.
the view was nice. the village looked decent and in a shock move it had stopped raining.
still no signal though...








so i walked on for ten minutes or so, to the edge of a cliff
and my phone started ringing like a boss !








it was mrs w, wondering why i hadn't phoned her for the best part of 24 hours.
i managed to tell her i was in wales and standing right at the edge of a cliff.
i told her i'd take a photo and email it to her... and this is the photo i took...
while i was cracking myself up taking this photo, it did occur to me just how 
stupid i'd look if one or both of these bad boys blew off into the sea
( it was very very windy by the way )

anyway, i quickly put my glorias back on, made a few calls, then headed back to the village for fish and chips.
