Wrong Day For the Buffet

A shot from yesterday in Nottingham

Two people walking by a telephone box.

When did telephone boxes become advertising hoardings , a place to send emails or texts?

What happened to our old fashioned red telephone box. Maybe it was something to do with the telecoms industry becoming an 'open market' back in the day.

Great catch

[Maggiemae]

You can get money now - they have to pay to advertise! The old red boxes will become museum pieces!

[Sue Wilde]

Great catch. Love the B&W

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Great natural shot, if only it had been an old fashioned red kiosk! Love these black and white shots you are doing Phil.

[Myrna O'Hara]

Yum, shot AND lunch!!

[Pat Knowles]

Funny how partners seem to match each other....these two are dressed much the same & even striding out together!
Love looking at people don't you!!
Telephone boxes must be red!

[beezy]

Yep and when you had no money to call your friends you got them to call you at the phonebox(well l did :)Great shot Phil

[Gerry]

great photo Phil looks a great advert for the couple walking by they may have had a takeaway too

[Sue]

Great candid Phil. I love how they are in sinc & your choice of b&w. :p

[Allison Williams]

I love the traditional boxes. They say "England" to me. This is a wonderful B&W composition. Was it as cold as these two appear?
