Do you know where your nearest public telephone box is?

Watching Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy atm and one of the characters goes and uses a telephone box. Got me thinking that I don’t actually know where my nearest is? I live in a village so not very big.

Last time I actually used one was probably in the early 90’s?

Yes but I've never seen anyone use it

These are the new phone boxes in my city to move away from the boxes and the horrors within

I only know about them from a C4 documentary which shown people making drug deals using the free WiFi call it gives you

I’m pretty sure our town doesn’t have any left now. There used to be a phone box on each estate plus quite a few in the town centre but pretty I think they’ve all been removed now. I’ll have to look next time I’m out.

Yes. I was stuck in traffic next to it the other day when a man in a van pulled up to service it. He got out, went in, picked up the telephone cord, which had had its receiver violently removed somehow, dropped it again, got back in his van and drove off. Confused
