There must have been three of us Merlin :-D :-D

Whilst you lot were busy tapping out numbers on the handset there were others (allegedly, I don't know who) picking up the handset and dialling 0 for the operator...

"Operator, which number do you require".
"Oh hello, is that the Operator?"
"Yes"
amid hoots of laughter and childish sniggering..."Well you'd better get off the line, there's a train coming".

Not surprised Telefonica made all that money Malcolm.
When I lived in Spain in 1990s we waited over a year to get telephone installed so had to use telephone box to ring home.Constantly topping up with 100 peseta coins.
OH went mad when I was calling my mother....cost a fortune...never used one since then!

Last time I used a phonebox it wasnt for making calls it was to have a snog out of the rain lol :-D :-D :-D <3

lol Mersy :-D

I hope that you weren't the couple sharing my phonebox when I was changing into my Superman alter ego. I thought it was rather crowded :-D :-D

As Sue said, we don't seem to see any phone boxes here in Australia, any more, although there are public phones in shopping complexes - places which have security - because that's the reason why the phone boxes have been removed - they were unusable because they were vandalised. In an emergency, it became much easier to find a passer-by with a mobile phone that it was to find a public phone which worked!
A sign of the times.

Allan there was method in me madness ....I didnt want me nuggets to get damp pmsl :-D ;-)

LOL can just picture compo saying

theres nowt worse than damp nuggets!! ;-)

Compos right....nowt like damp nuggets when you want to dip them lol ;-)

lol Mersey, the damp makes 'em soggy, and too bendy to dip :-D

Nothing like a crunchy nugget Allan LOL :-D ;-)

:-D :-D :-D

.....and then, out of boredom I suppose, we used to play the "let's see how many of us can fit into the phone box" thing :-( how sad.
Makes me wonder why on earth I spent so much of my early teenage years hanging around the local phone box, it must have been like some sort of giant magnet in the village. Mind you, we didn't vandalise it. We just wished someone would phone us!
