    definitely a necessity! if you look at the barebones functions of it i.e purely communication when out and about

    Although looking back when I was younger it was a luxury but that was around 16 years ago( gosh I feel old!!)
    That's a fair point given the dwindling number of functioning telephone boxes. Though I still hold that they aren't a necessity for my particular lifestyle, I was put to a lot of inconvenience recently when I unexpectedly needed to make a call while out and had to find a flippin telephone box! :doh:
