Would you care to explain what you meant by Paddy's Wigwam and let others judge you?

Would you care to elaborate on your last bizarre comment?

You obviously are trying to extend your circle of enemies in the Pool. :-(

You are bravest little sheep in the whole wide world :-)

Would have been quite funny if Paddy's Wigwam had ended up painted red and with small windows.

Not everyone owns a mobile phone
My OH has only recently got a £10.00 one

Broadcasters Danny Baker & Robert Elms do not own one.

Phone boxes on the streets are a lifeline in an emergency. If you are mugged and your phone is taken where will you call from???

Not used one for years. Usually vandalised and stinking, anyway.

Think most people have now got an emergency pay as you go phone. Or easy access to one if needed.

The red ones may be design classics, but when was the last time you actually used a phone box?

Seems such a shame - great memories

The old red ones - part of history :-(
