Longformacus
Thankyou xxxrmt for this nice shot of the phone box in Longformacus. I wonder if it has survived the purge of 'non-viable' (BT speak) phone boxes in isolated Borders communities. Hutton (sadly modern type) was due for the chop but saved after local protests. I have only seen one person actually using it in last two years-a lorry driver who had no charge left in his mobile-probably.
The box proudly proclaims 'You may e-mail from here' But you can't. All the hi-tech apparata have been removed to a more 'proactive community (BT Speak revisited) and we are left with the bog standard receiver. Thankgoodness we have no yoof as in ASBOs in this locality. Otherwise the bog standard Phone Box might serve as exactly that Hutton not being over supplied with public loos.
Be thankful for small mercies as Aunty Kaye used yto say
