Another Phonebox Phriday whimsical entry.

Here is the aged disgracefully insides of a KX100 phonebox that unlike many of the remaining K6's, contains a working telephone.

I have memories from my teens of in old K6 phoneboxes, 'reversing the charges' to call home when I had no spare change; of occasionally seeing someone who likely had no home telephone hanging around outside waiting for a call they were expecting; of making spoof calls to a phonebox visible from a school friend's house when we saw people commuting home from working at a local factory!

Although the use of them is now in less demand I do miss telephone boxes being part of a typical urban landscape and part of our lives

Today has been spent sleeping off a Nightshift, washing my hair (faaabulous) whilst chatting with bestie between rinses (that's multitasking for ya) and visiting Father In Law to meet the Celebrant for Mother In Laws Funeral next week. That was nice with a few tears as we all remembered different things :-)
