[Nearly Sane]

At least these ones are unlikely to smell of urine

I came across a red British telephone box - being used as a public telephone box - in a shopping arcade in Kurashiki, in Japan.

Last summer I came across a telephone box tucked away in Boppard in Germany.

Many tourists taking photos of this strangely located telephone box. Not sure it was being used for anything other than attracting tourists!

The old red phone box in our village is used as a sort of library where books can be left and swapped. It always has at least a couple of copies of Fifty Shades in it.

I haven't seen one for ages: or perhaps I just don't notice them any more since flat battery apart I'd never use one

Even then, since I'd tend to contact others via their mobiles, I'd never remember their numbers since they're all stored on my mobile, so a handy phone box would be useless.

There's a beautiful village near me (well, there would be: it's Leicestershire after all) where the old red phone box has also been turned into a compact and bijou but surprisingly well stocked village library.

And a house just round the corner from me has one in the front garden.

Thinking about the TARDIS. I believe that in most BBC premises there is a former police phone box in the entrance area. I saw one at the BBC in The Mailbox, in Birmingham. I was led to believe that it is part of an executive rapid transport system.

I saw a Tardis somewhere in London years and years ago. Forgotten it totally until now.
