It's the booth and cottages that are wonky, the posts at front are lined up ok..... well, that's my story. It's not often you come across an unvandalised, clean and wroking phone box these days. _________________________ "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." Lewis Carroll

picqero Multiloquent Registered: Tue Dec 28 2004 Posts: 2813 Loc: Hertfordshire<br>England UK	I suggested this theme in Nov. 2007, and had forgotten all about it I saw these colourful post and telephone boxes in Alderney, Channel Islands, during a sailing trip only 6 weeks ago.

I'm afraid we didn't get to Sue's island, Jersey, which is south of Alderney. We were on a tight schedule, and after Alderney headed for the Britanny coast of France, then back to England. Maybe next time

argus9 Mainstay Registered: Thu Sep 30 1999 Posts: 856 Loc: Winnipeg Manitoba Canada	It's nice to see the old phone booths. I don't think I've seen one in our part of the country in years. Now they're all those ones on a post like you see in a mall. Can't run to that to get out of the rain. _________________________ Weaseling out of things is important to learn.

That would be a pity as 'being photogenic' is not a requirement; just how things are in your part of the world There's an interesting article on U.S. telephone booths here

spanishliz Champion Poster Registered: Thu Dec 13 2001 Posts: 23115 Loc: Ontario Canada	The thing I like most about these mail boxes is that they're just around the corner from my house. There are two because one is for local mail and the other for "all other destinations".
