   What a sad loss. No more cramming into a urine filled little box and being ripped off to make a phone call.

Thank God for my mobile phone.

   If half of all phone boxes make 1 call or less per month, how many calls do the ones in Rochdale make? If the person in Norden claims its is a lifeline and is used, get the evidence. I doubt it is. Its like Post Offices. We all want them, but most rarely use them.
