I've never been to the UK. Is this real? No more red phone booths???
Some still survive but mostly just for tourists to take a picture next to. Hardly any of those left, even the “modern” ones, actually have a working phone.
What's with prancing naked trumpet guy?
"DOO DO DO DOOOO! Telephoooone!"
Yeah, why would you spend money clearing out trash, piss, and shit from them when everyone has mobile phones.
I'm just sad I won't get the authentic experience of pissing in one anymore.
And cigarette butts, don't forget them.
They do exist in some towns, but they stopped making new ones a long time ago. They are expensive to maintain. No one uses payphones anymore so new ones aren't being built anyway.
Yes, we stopped using them a few decades ago
