[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 146299, member: 9252"] If I remember rightly, when the mobile phone started to take off in the UK, British Telecom started removing them and replacing them with much fewer, cheaper to maintain boxes... There was a bit of an uproar at the time as people saw them as part of the country's identity... A bit like the red double decker buses in London. Most of the old red boxes like the one in the picture were auctioned off / sold by BT. Quite a few went to collectors who use them as all sorts... I saw one that became a mini greenhouse full of tomato plants once! [/QUOTE]
