Girls of the Phone Booth !!!

No door bell. What do people throw rocks at your window then dan? O rdo you blast them with a shotgun as they drive up the approach road to your log cabin?

LOL! I'm not that bad... I ask friends to call when they arrive (with their mobile, lol) or just to knock. But it does keep me from having to deal with Jehova witnesses or Mormon elders, and every other of these little annoyances of daily life... It makes things a bit more difficult for pizza delivery but we simply stick a paper on the door saying "Knock hard"...

There used to be a newsagent in Soho at the end of Poland St around the corner from the public toilets by Berwick St market, and they used to have the most fascinating ads in a box outside: I was tempted to write them down but it would have given the wrong impression, but the ones I remember are 'French Lessons', and 'Air Hostess Seeks Ground Position'...

Not all the pictures on those cards relate to the girl behind the phone number; for some men, not just tourists with poor English, this might be the only way to find out how to contact someone, and others may be seeing an image of a transexual for the first time. I am surprised that public phone booths still exist, given that most people have mobiles. It is a sleazy and unwanted part of London life, I would be happy to see it go.

I saw that in London all over the places all i can think its a bit of risk fpr both parts working girl and the guy who calls.

I look here cheerful company ))) Thank you guys for what you have cheered us up and gave a good laugh ))) I am glad that this post brought a lot of positive emotions )
Today I walked past a phone booth and I get the impression that the whole of London is a solid one brothel , there was more ads - than the population of London )))

I contacted a teacher out of a phone booth for "Help with my French A-Levels".
I did not get what I expected and failed my exams.

On the other hand, look where that encounter has led you.....

In answer to Stavros though, I think some pay phones exist because not everyone does have a mobile. In some remoter parts of the UK mobile coverage is very patchy and then, of course, there are plenty of overseas visitors without mobiles. Plus where else would drunks have to piss in late at night?

Those "remoter parts" would presumably include Jericho's Welsh mountain fastness, where all the cards look like this....
