The South Wales Evening Post carries a jeremiad of sorts on the state of public phone boxes:

“Incredibly, almost a quarter of public phone kiosks in Wales make less than one call a month, latest figures show. Just three per cent of adults say they have used a BT payphone in the past month.

“It comes at a time when mobile phone ownership has soared to around 90 per cent of adults. But despite the odds seemingly being stacked against them, reports of the humble payphone’s demise are greatly exaggerated.”
