I wonder what people think when they see me taking photos of phone boxes. I heard an American woman once say ‘Maybe they don’t have them where they’re from’ (or something to that effect). Hysterical.

I don’t have an acknowledgement for this image. If it is yours please let me know. I really like it so hope you don’t mind me keeping it on the blog.
