RE: Wednesday Walk - from Graves to Phone Boxes!

in Wednesday Walk • 3 years ago

Actually that's a great idea too- the fruit and veg honesty boxes...Well a telephone was was always used as either an honesty box or a lie detector box...🤣...yes mum I'll be home before bedtime....🤣

But I think it's a brilliant idea to use as a seedling greenhouse in the garden too!

I would love to have one or two in my future garden!

Sort:  

Oh, the times I've said that to my parents in my youth! The veg came in handy during lockdown, straight from people's allotments. 🙂

yes you see free ranging veg out here in some small country towns but not so much these days and certainaly not in telephone boxes...lol...

And how many times did those telephone boxes save you in those days too...oh yes I did ring from the phone box but no-one answered...or mum, can you come and puck me up from the pub please...(at 3 am...🤣..) Oh the things that I put my poor mum through so dad wouldn't find out...

We used to be able to tap the receiver several times to get free calls! We were very switched on kids!

I think we could both write a book about telephone boxes.

Haa that's funny!

I used to have a phone box that wood call everywhere for free so every Sunday night at 6pm I went there to call Mum from my new home in Newcastle which was 8 hours away and then one day the man came to fix it...so sad...so rude of him! lol..

Very selfish of him!

Yes! absolutely how rude of that massive multinational trillion dollar telecom company...
