  1. Yeah mate. Can’t remember the last time I saw a phone box without a pint of cider in it.

  2. Took their last pint with them when they left the pub, had a piss in the phone box and forgot their pint.

  3. “Is this a thing in the UK?”

    What a dumb question.

  4. That is a trap left by the fae. If you drink it, you will wake up in a pixie circle being nibbled on by council estate urchins.

  5. Yes it is a thing.

    Someone has kindly left you a pint in public. Have yourself a sip or two. It’s okay.

  6. Actually phone booths are becoming increasingly rare in the UK

  7. British Telecom incentive to get more people in to phone boxes. An on site bar.

  8. People in the UK have been turning old phone boxes into all kinds of things. I’ve seen ones full of books as a little local library thing, and I’ve seen ones with a coffee machine in and someone serving hot drinks.

    I guess a phone box pub was the next logical step.

  9. Think yourself lucky! Round where I live it’s Oranjeboom tins, used needles and the handsets have been removed.

  10. It’s more notable that you found a phone box with a phone still in it.

  11. Did you send it into Ashens so he could do a taste test video on it?

  12. Someone took their pint home from the pub. Stopped in the box to take a piss or, much less likely, make a call, then either forgot it or decided they had drunk enough.

    That’s my guess based on….seeing other people behave in such a way.

  13. Yep and tend to be used as a pubic convenience instead!

  14. Hands up who’s been trapped in one of these bastards drunk, tried all 4 walls and still can’t find the door?

    Please don’t be just me.

  15. A pint in a phone box is used in the same way people use water bottles to reserve gym equipment. Someone will be coming back to that phone box anytime between a minute to an hour.

  16. This is like when you see all those bottles of apple juice on the side of the motorway

  17. Absolutely a pint of a dehydrated gentleman’s liquid.

    But thatchers is also a dark cider. Smell test please OP

  18. Pint of piss, which is unusually tidy as it’s traditionally just done on the floor in a phone box…or pint of Thatchers Rascal someone left whilst having a cheeky bump 🙂

  19. I think you’ll find that that is in fact a cocaine insufflation booth and you’re correct, it has a drink holder.
