Berkshire village celebrating victory in battle against BT for red phone box
In this age of mobiles, instant messaging and the like, it is all too easy to think of the humble telephone box as a relic of a bygone age. I'm glad to say that this story proves that the trusty public call box still has its place in British society, and long may it continue to be so. It is also most gratifying to see that community spirit is still alive and well in modern Britain, in that an important aspect of local life has been reclaimed in the face of a large, impersonal corporation. Splendid stuff all round!
