Mobile Phone Ban At Nightclub
A mobile phone ban on a nightclub dance floor could be a "powerful" way to help people reconnect, according to one musician.
The Doppler Studio in Leicester said it had brought in a phone-free policy in an effort to preserve the atmosphere of live music and dance on nights out.
Revellers seen using their phones on the dance floor at the nightclub in High Street are asked to put the device away, and if they are spotted more than once, are asked to leave the venue.

🛡️ Security Corner 🛡️
You can research online shops to check they're legitimate, particularly if it’s a store you’ve not used before. Use consumer websites, or reviews from people (or organisations) that you trust.
You might receive suspicious emails or texts (known as phishing messages) that contain links to fake shops, with promotions that seem too good to be true.
These days it’s easy for a criminal to duplicate the design of a legitimate website, which will often include logos, trademarks and products copied from a genuine store. Many will also use a deceptive website domain that can be easily mistaken for a genuine domain.
