I remember when girls put dimes in there penny loafers in case they needed to call home.

In the UK those red telephone booths became an icon, a symbol of British civilization.

Remember the role the phone booth played in the movie ‘Waking Ned Devine’?

I bought my current house in 1997 from a guy who had one of those red tele booths in the living room. My wife made sure he planned on taking it with him.

About 3 decades ago we spent close to 2 weeks in the Devon and Cornwall area. We loved seeing the red phone booths often in the middle of no where. My wife had some card that she could make calls back to the states with it. The time share inn had a couple of red phones around the property, and they sold us the cards.

Are those red phone booths still in the UK?

We love old Brit tv mysteries and joke whenever we see a red phone booth. I ask my wife if she has the card or vice versa on seeing the first red phone booth in a Brit tv series.
