do some people have nowt better to do.

I like this bit: "But the boxes are huge ugly things and a blight on the street scene. "


she should get the local graffiti street artists to help out there.

No, something more tasteful - a scrum would be good.

That could be an interesting cabinet.  :thumb:

LOL. Like one that has an "xray" of the cabinet. With hamsters, wires everywhere, moles moving in, and a "404 not found" sign on the incomming wire.

BT are really missing a trick here - get Banksy to decorate the new cabinets and the Nimbies will be falling over themselves to get one installed on their street.

Nothing like naked self-interest to get the petite-bourgeoisie onboard... :P

But Banksy is likely to put a picture of the BT director in a less than flattering position. ;)
