If any UK Catters feel nostalgic for old style public phones, the working one in a red phone box at Crich Tramway Museum in Derbyshire was still there last time I looked.

It takes 20p pieces, not old pennies, but button A works! Goes down a storm with the under 30s, my kids phoned home on it once (after dialling instruction).

The REAL police Tardis-type telephone box across the tracks is pretty good too. Unfortunately the inside is the same size as the outside so presumably the flux capacitor's gone wrong or something.
