Default Re: More Wiltshire payphones under threat.

I can remember moving into my first home after leaving my parents house in the mid 1980s.
Nine out of ten payphones were either broken or 999 calls only.
There was a long wait for a land line phone.
It was at a time when they were repainting all their vans and that took a lot from the quality of service they provided.
I can still remember having to push the handset to one side of the cradle to get it to go on hook once I finally got a line.
