Hard one that Shelagh, and it's right up Ernie's street. Unless you had been held in there by a Policeman, you wouldn't know what was in there as the public phone was outside. I never had a clue so I googled it. :D

Phil..we had a local police box on corner of Balfour and Knowsley road, always wanted to know what was in there..followed many a policeman..but never did find out!
Discovered contents many years later by asking a copper :D

Let's leave it a while to see if anyone comes up with the proper answer as mine was just a bit of fun.

If no takers by later tonight I'll set a new question.

I spoke to an officer in one, he was sitting at a desk or table, so table & chair.
He had a brew so presume a kettle ( unless he had a thermos ) .
Can't recall anything else but were they standard or personalised by the local Bobby, maybe a heater in Winter or mini fridge in Summer.? Ken

Ken, you are correct..standard box was equipped with mini desk, stool, and heater, (not sure about a fridge) some little boxes even fitted with electric lighting..other essentials consisted of first aid kit, and fire extinguisher!
Imagine some were made a lot cosier than others :)

Isn't Stanley south of Wellington?
Or, is it just that it's so small it's not counted as a city?

As an aside, I mentioned story of my life above - typical I changed the one I had correct for a duffer on my second stab! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I never said but understood most would figure Sovereign State capitals and Stanley wouldn't qualify on that criteria. :lol: K

ps. Never heard of Nuuk but will check it and Port Stanley cos it will keep me awake at night not knowing. :oops: K

pps. Bern you would have right about Nuuk & Port Stanley in terms of geography.
Nuuk is just a few miles North of Reykjavik. Never been to either place, no trees to
chop down but maybe a cruise destination some day. :wink: K
