Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

Red is going to go mad about this.

BT are selling off 60 of their iconic, 1936 design, "K6" Phone Boxes. Absolute beauts, the creme de la creme.

How much each? £1,950. And you have to collect them yourself.

Youi think nobody is interested? Think again.

One company even rents them out.

Look at this little lot......

I bet Red used to buy them for about £200 each. Just think, he could have been a mogul by now.

I just rang Tracy to check (he remembers everything) We bought them for £100 each and sold them for £175. We could get 8 on the lorry.

We sold, at best guess, around 20 loads.

How many on a load, Tom?

I just want you to work out how rich, & mogul-ish, you COULD gave been, see?

Nice to see Tikay reads your Posts Tom

Not sure when it was that Tom was bagging £600 a load of phone boxes but this site lets you see what that would be worth today - although it may be that inflation has hit phone boxes harder since they aren't making them any more and scarcity does have a tendency to increase price

Went to the lake district by mistake on Thursday. Was epic. I recommend, if you want somewhere with loads of peace and quiet. There's even a place that sounds like your surname, that you could hang out in.

How on EARTH do you go to the Lake District "by mistake"?

Was on way to scotchland, saw signs for the lake district, swung a left, looked good, so decided to stay for the night and enjoy the scenery. Great photo opportunities for you there too.
