Alton Towers 'bans' PDAs and smartphones
 

Alton Towers (A popular UK Theme park - Ed.) is testing a ban of PDAs and smartphones during this week's half-term break. Between 25 May and 1 June the park will become a 'PDA Free Zone' in an attempt to get parents to disconnect from the office and reconnect with their families.
