 | SYMM called the box, and a white van man answered. Sadly he chickened out from actually saying anything and hung up.

I got someone - he sounded a bit drunk. I told him he was on a camera.
We connected over the fence and the car across the street - he thought
it was funny that he was on a camera but he didn't seem to notice that
I had an American accent. Was it bad to tell him he was on a camera?
Should that be a secret? He sounded a bit drunk. He said he was waiting
for his mum to come pick him up. Nothing showed up in the picture - I think you need a better zoom.

 | BigNick Writes:
Just called the phonebox and got chatting to the white car man (who I
notice is on the site already). Interestingly, a bicycle also stopped
by the phone box as well. The conversation went something like this. Me: Is that John?
Him: Who?
Me. John. John Stevenson.
Him: Who are you?
Me: I'm calling for John.
Him: I'm getting f****d off at you.
Me: So, John's not there then.
Him: (Heavy beathing and no ansswer - phone goes dead). This
reminds me of something else. When I was younger we lived in a seaside
town with lots of summer tourists. Me and my brother used to sit on a
hill overlooking a busy phonebox and make prank calls pretending to be
from a local radio station. We used to ask them a simple question and
trick them in to thinking they had won a cash prize. We'd say
that if they went into a nerby bank just behind the phonebox, then the
radio station had given £1000 to the back to give to them. The fun we
used to have chasing them into the bank once the conversation was over
and watching their total confusion and shock when they didn't get any
money. Ha ha ha!

When I rang there was no one in the phone box but I managed to get the
following picture straight after this conversation I had with a young
girl or boy (???).
Her: Hello?
Me: Hello. Is that the phone box on the corner?
Her: Yes it is.
Me: Can you tell me if the phone box is dirty? I'm from BT. (NB
couldn't think of anything on the spur of the moment as I wasn't
expecting anyone to answer, so thanks to Dex)
Her: No.
Me: Is it clean?
Her: Yeah.
Me: Has it been vandalised?
Her: Yeah
Me: It has? Well don't do it again alright?
Her: OK. Bye.
Me: Bye.

"Oh nevermind that, I'm miles away. Can you ask your mate to go and stand by
the big tree and wave at the traffic?"

I phones the box and got through to a BT engineer (look at his van in
the photo)!!! I simply asked for a taxi- but he said that there must be
a wrong number and that he'd had quite a few calls! Fantastic!! It's
about time stuff like this was done to BT- serves em right for moving
their call centres to India!!!

Got some young lad to answer, so i went "hi, this is chris from who
wants to be a millionaire - is that dave?" the lad sounded somewhat
stunned, at which point i p1ssed myself laughing and hung up.

 | Lance Harrington Writes:
Chatted to the bloke from the van. He had parked right in front of the
phone box, so I rang him (George) and asked him to move it. He said he
would only do it if I gave him the web address. So I gave it to him.
Still he did not move the van. Rang back, but it was engaged.
Eventually got through and it turns out he had rang his wife to ask her
to go the webpage. He had misheard me, and typed in the wrong address.
Anyway, I gave him the correct address and he moved his van! |
