BT got rid of THE Red telephone box..

Internet stating....sold for £1..(⬅️ not sure that's the# sign)

Do you know anyone who bought?

What did they do with it‽🤔
 

Yes I know many people who bought the Phone boxes.. many placed them in their gardens, as ornaments. Some people made them into little Garden Kiosk Bars... some villages around here use the existing ones as small lending libraries...most are still in place, and now house defibrillators

I just checked. Apparently Dr Who traveled around in a blue police booth, not a red phone booth. That is what comes from never having seen it but only heard about it in passing.

Did you live around your way when they needed 4 old pence, which would not go in as the previous 4 old pence were jammed? Mind they did have phone books unless nicked and Brighton boxes were full of working girl cards which made for interesting reading.

Where does Superman change into his caped suit now?

I always wondered....what does he do with his business suit, shirt, tie, shoes and socks? Fold them in a tidy little bundle and stow them in a pocket in his cape? Leave them behind in the phone booth, thereby ensuring there would be some well-dressed bums.....er, I mean " under-served individuals"....? Buy new clothes every time? That could get expensive, but then....he could just squeeze a big lump of coal and make a diamond, so he *could* afford to go that route.

Did we ever see him fly back into a phone booth and emerge as Clark Kent, assuming his clothes were still there?

If he left his clothes in a phone booth, and assuming they were there when he got back, and since most phone booths, at least in the U.S. DID smell like pee, did he have to get them dry cleaned before he went back to The Daily Planet?

What in the world would he do now, with them all gone?
