Mono Monday..Communication
Many British Telecom public phone boxes have been decommissioned by BT, and many have been sold off to be used for other purposes in the community such as mini libraries. But apparently there are around 5,000 still in use, specifically in areas with low mobile phone signal.

About 5m calls were made from phone boxes in the year to May 2020, including almost 150,000 to emergency services, while 25,000 were made to ChildLine and 20,000 to Samaritans. However, call volumes from payphones have fallen from about 800m minutes in 2002 to 7m in 2020.
I took a quick snap in the rain on my way to the craft group this morning, and it was pouring on the way home, so no extended walk today.
