A Trivial Pursuit ?

Yes and it remains trivial. There is nothing profound about ths subject. Or is there ??  Regarding the continuance of British society and the icons thereof..... I have noticed, as you might have done during some years now, that mobile phones have become quite common. Yes I think that is true ! I hope you agree. Otherwise I think my views are really suspect. Yet there was considerable outcry many years ago concerning the demise of the Red Telephone Box in our country ! It was almost considered heretical that the new, plastic, impersonal, faceless, non- descript usurpers of telephonic communication on our streets, overtook our beloved Red Telephone Boxes. Yet who cares now? There are quite a number around London. In my view paying lip service to tradition. But pretty nevertheless (?) Well I like them. Especially the friendly bunch leaning on one another in Kingston-upon-Thames whose only use is artistic.  But who could have imagined that the over confident,  'we are the future' representations on our streets would become virtually obsolete overnight?  How many people use them ? Does anybody use them? Does anybody see anybody using them? And how long before some now unknown technology, which may be already skipping across the skein of time towards us, brings about the end of the era of mobile phones ???  I might just start counting the users of street phones. Please let me know your results.No duplicates allowed. I am sure this is a worthwhile project.
