A cocktail bar owner has installed a Faraday cage in his walls to prevent mobile phone signals entering the building.

Steve Tyler of the Gin Tub, in Hove, East Sussex, is hoping customers will be encouraged to talk to each other rather than looking at their screens.

He has installed metal mesh in the walls and ceiling of the bar which absorbs and redistributes the electromagnetic signals from phones and wireless devices to prevents them entering the interior of the building.

Why you hating on millennials, Bro?

    One of my top 5 things to do, is to read while I eat. I used to buy a newspaper or bring a book or magazine with me to lunch -- now I just use my phone. I'm not unfriendly or anti-social, but when I'm on my lunch break, the last thing I want is to run into a friend or acquaintance and then have to talk to him or her rather than read whatever I was enjoying.
