As much as we enjoyed the recent Treasure Hunt, there's one thing still on our minds.

Whenever we go out in the car together we start spotting bl**dy phone boxes - shouting "Red one!" and "There's a silver one!"

To help keep our sanity, can we please be exempt from any phone box spotting on any future Treasure Hunts.

Thanks.

Dave & Rachael,

Ward 2,
Derby Institute for the Mentally Infirm.

PS we tried writing this in crayon, but kept getting smudged when we hit 'refresh'.

ROTFLMAO

You think you two have it bad! 'chelle & I did the recce several times and kept getting more and more everytime we did the route! We only spotted some of them by doing bits of the route backwards when we missed one we had noted previously

Amanda will vouch for the fact that I was still spotting phoneboxes whilst 'off route' and on the way home.

I now know every phonebox between Derby & Ullapool, Inverness, Oban & Pitlochry

I trust Michelle now knows most of those in South Wales too

Tell me about it

I am using a public PC at the moment, so not using any of my more recognisable usernames

Along every fecking road I have been spotting red, silver and even red AND silver ones - that would have buggered things up LOL

I know nearly every phone box in the UK

Sad, but true

I guessed this one was you anyway, though I have my suspicions about a few others

Oh, nearly forgot...
















Would anyone like any Toast?

Question



Are these phone boxes sleeping?

And if so, do they count?
