Bid for a green street box.
I was just flicking through the latest NTL April mail out and came accross this article.
I've attached it here for you to see.
You know you want one.

Re: Bid for a green street box.
 Bidding is to commence at £30 and expected to reach £thousa nds
Who the hell is going to pay all that to have their name engraved on a green box and a picture of them posing by it?
Who the hell thought up that bright idea and decided they could mail customers details of it. I could think of many more important things that NTL could be telling us about. Perhaps they could have mailed details about Nottingham customers being moved from payment in arrears for cable modems to payment in advance. Or are they getting two months payment from Nottingham customers to finance promoting this hairbrained ides?

I loved the part that said "These are structural landmarks of great importance".

Re: Bid for a green street box.
Glad people enjoyed it. I thought up the idea last week when passing a box in the street. People must have wondered why I was going to take a photo of a box up my road LOL.

Re: Bid for a green street box.
If it were for real, what use would you have had for it?

Re: Bid for a green street box.
Red phone boxes are worth quite a lot. So get one now and hide it in your attic for 50 years
