COLDPLAY - MARTIN SHOCKED BY OLD-FASHIONED GHANA

COLDPLAY rocker CHRIS MARTIN found visiting rural Ghana on his MAKE TRADE FAIR campaign was like travelling back in time.

The British singer amazed local Ghanaians with his video camera and mobile phone - as most of them had never experienced the sort of highly developed technology that westerners take for granted.

He says, "It's awkward when you first get somewhere like this.

"You feel like you're in BACK TO THE FUTURE; you pull up in your cars and pile out with all this technology.

"I took photos on my mobile phone and showed them. They thought it was hilarious."
