When I drove taxis in Belfast, always asked foreign travellers if they had been here before when picking up from the airports.
Always said to them “If you don’t like the weather, wait 15 mins and it’ll change. And also set your watch back 25 years”
Always got a laugh, they obviously thought I was joking
I like the phone boxes, still one although badly damaged round the corner from me in belfast, Theyre nostalgic.
Loved these phones especially when you kicked them and got the change out. We spent hours calling people in London back in the 80s early 90s..
My friend got £4.20 out of one of those with a stick she found on the ground😥
They still have public toilets on the street? Lucky
Bet it still costs 10p
Fkn 1680s
Agree bring back the red Iconic boxes! Let’s go further back….,
Fkin Back to the Future. Blarrttt! Malfunction does not effing compute!
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me,
I just use this to wee…
Damn, that one actually looks pretty clean. Almost didn’t recognise it without the broken glass, burn marks and vomit all over the phone
same with the brook
It was a better time tbh.
That’s what happens when you elect a government that doesn’t want to invest in rural areas
Ngl I love seeing the 90s and early 00s in some places.
Breaks my heart seeing it change.
Modern architecture is, horrible, bland, and unimaginative.
I actually looked in to it once. Its a millennial thing. Apparently the 90s was too cluttered, *god forbid you seen cool stuff in yer house* and for that reason, when they got their own houses, they made them minimalist, painted it grey. Or anything in general, minimalist shite. Now everything looks that way and its pure boke sir. And as a millennial myself, it fucking bugs the piss outta me. We had the coolness of the 80s and 90s and what do you do, you fear it.
People who paint the house grey, are actual thieves of happiness.
What’s the Newry equivalent for a bt phone box?
You love to see it. You check the little slot for change?
1690s?
There is a load of them in housing estates in Antrim I think I have seen one in the steeple

Most of NI is stuck in the 70s
