There’s not many phone boxes left in the UK of any design now.

I’ve seen a few converted into tiny libraries or art displays.

The red ones converted to something else I always enjoy. We even have some of them here in Germany now.

What did they convert to? I can't tell if this is a joke I just don't understand or what

These things are awesome. Get some books, put some books back in. Unfortunately someone torched ours a few years ago.
