RE: Phone home

The good old days of phone boxes down the street. Made dialing pizza delivery harder. Oh hang on, there was not pizza delivery.
Societies fixation with their phones these days is a plague. Remember those days when people driving cars actually looked at the road instead of their phone?

We were trying to figure out if pay phones exist any more. Do we still have any?
I see them around the place but my brain struggles to notice them as they are pretty much obsolete things. I'm not sure if any of them work. It was interesting though, the last time I was in London they were everywhere. The old red ones and the newer versions of them. I thought it was cool. One of each below. I like the older ones. They also have wifi phone booths as below. Maybe next they'll have Facebook ones.
Those old red ones always had a distinctive smell. The newer ones I recall were mostly glass, so that second one is not familiar. I wonder if they're only in London or if it's a change because the glass ones got smashed too often (I've not been to London since I was a child).
I love that the Wi-Fi one looks a little like the old police boxes (Tardis!). Waiting on Facebook bright blue ones, now. 😆
I feel in the back of my mind like I have seen pay phones here, but like you say, perhaps we don't notice what we're not looking for. You'll have to snap a pic of one for me if you spot one, assuming you have your phone with you. 😉
So, I just realised for the first time that in the image of that new open-style London phone booth there's a few interesting advertisements stuck to the glass. 🙄
If I come across a payphone booth in my travels I'll snap it for you. For old times sake. Lol.
🤣 I missed that too. I bet there are some expensive call charges there. Not sure if the booth offers the most comfortable place to be calling them from. Maybe that's why it's been made so open. 😂
Lol, yeah and a sticky handset.
Lol.
