Those still existed in London in the 1970s, as I was interested in seeing one after watching the old "Dr Who" episodes. Dunno if the London cops have dismantled them since, or if they are "heritage listed." What does Clark Kent use now, to change into Superman if phone boxes are gone in Metropolis? |

At least, it's still being used by people whose vocabulary can't be written on the back of a matchbox. |
