I have part adopted a phonebox in my village that was due to be removed by BT!! [thumbup]

The Parish council have adopted it, and they have allowed me to part adopt it myself, and all I have to do is do basic maintenance on it. Everybody was quite miffed with the idea of it being removed, as it has sat their since the 1930's!!

I noticed it was unlit at night, so I bought a couple of 8w Fluorescent bulbs for it for a couple of quid, and now it is brightly lit, and looks less abandoned! I wonder where I could buy some glass for it from? It has 1 broken window.

A fully refurbished box with the original interior is worth £4150!!
