If you wish to be bombarded with unnecessary radiation, feel free. But
not I, said the fly.

Well obviously not having a mobile removes the prime source of radiation.
Unfortunately the second, third and fourth sources of radiation most of
us
encounter are a little harder to control, be they the Sun, Earth and
Universe. (or Earth, Sun and Universe if you live in Cornwall)

So you reckon the sun is unnecessary, do you!

Nope - but with a phone to your ear, the phone just outdoes the incident
radiation on your body once you've allowed for an average 12 hours of night.
Of course you don't phone 24 hours a day (though Italian taxi drivers get
close) but we're getting into semantic then.

I don't even phone 1 minute a day. I just play back any message
received because my landline was engaged. I even got BT's free 1571
service so as to depend on the mobile even less.

Anyway, radiation from the Earth is the most dangerous so keep well clear of
granite.

And phone masts.
