Banksy likes a phone box
Banksy likes a phone box – and so, it seems, does someone else…

Phone for fish
A Mayfair phone box will be transformed into a glowing aquarium and trees will be hung with lights when the Lumiere festival come to Lndon next month. Neon balloon dogs will set up home in the Strand, while angel-like figures, by Cedric Le Borgne, will appear around St James. The French artist is one of more than 20 who will use light shows and special effects to brighten up streets from Kings Cross to the West End from January 14 to 17. Curator Helen Marriage said:
“Lumiere London is a free event, accessible to all.”

Post box story
This is a post box story that tickles my fancy so I thought I should share it…
Post box appears on Thames bridge, confuses village and Uri Geller
A red letter box suddenly appears in the middle of a bridge in Berkshire.
Uri Geller and other villagers have been left confused by the sudden arrival of a red letter box in the middle of a bridge.
The box has been placed a metre above the water on a parapet of the bridge, which crosses the River Thames in Berkshire.
People in Sonning-on-Thames said that the box can only be accessed by boat users.
Geller, who has lived in the village for 33 years, told BBC News he had “never seen anything like it”.
“This is a very unusual village. There are many sightings of a child ghost that walks on the bridge,” he commented.
“Maybe it was the ghost of a mischievous little girl? I have never seen anything like this anywhere in the world, it’s a new one on me.”
Royal Mail spokesperson Val Bodden said: “The recent appearance of a post box frontage on the side of the river bridge at Sonning is a mystery to us.
“It is certainly not an operational posting facility and we have no knowledge of how it arrived at this location.”

From Derren Brown’s ‘Trick of the Mind’ series, here is the result of one of his mind tricks played out in a phone box at South Bank, London:
Art in a phone box
An art gallery in a phone box! What a great idea.
“We believe the Gallery on the Green is the smallest public art gallery in the world. Certainly it is the only one to be open 24/7 and filled to capacity at least twice a day!!”
