Before mobile phones or probably when hardly anyone even had a landline

[b]On my way to school I used to walk past the phone box made famous by OMD about 10 years before them lol[/b]

@ArtieKat I love OMD.

@meggie Some years ago I catered for a dinner party for the parents of one of the band - I can't remember off-hand who it was. (Definitely not Andy McCluskey though)

Thanks for BC

Oh my wife was telling my kids once about how I used to have to walk to the phone box to call her as we didn't have a landline at my house when I first was going out with her.

Londoners showing how NOT to queue ;)

@Nimbus when it's so cold, you can't stand still too long. Someone told me that often they'd wait for half an hour or more to use a phone or give up.
Nimbus · M
@meggie Half an hour ? Wow ;)

There where public phones and phone booths around for a long time.

@meggie There a few still standing here in the states but they have been stripped out. Guess nobody wants an empty phone booth.

@Nitedoc They’re not completely gone. Saw this in a courthouse Wednesday.

@RedBaron That's pretty surprising.
There are two old red telephone boxes in my town, they’re tourist information posts and leaflets now.

@Gingerbreadspice some here have been turned into little libraries

I'd only want those around to do prank calls

@meggie near Alton Towers I saw a yard full of them,they must collect them do them up maybe.
I did see one as a coffee shop on a seafront

@HotPizza71 yes they are worth quite a bit when restored. The prostitutes in London also use them to deposit their calling cards.
