I'm pretty sure the phone was only accessible on the outside....

I thought the same thing when I read his post, but decided to research it before making the comment and found out the phone was accessible from both inside and outside.

How retarded! No wonder the Uk has been going downhill :duckhunt

It's not retarded, it's incredibly clever. Another popular use of a police box was a "guard shack" of sorts for posted policemen. So the bobbys could potentially have personal effects in them. (Typically some first aid gear, a stool a space heater ect...) Because of the smart design they could lock up the box when they go on patrol and yet still give the public access to the phone.

What's clever about letting a drunk, angry man have access to a phone? Isn't he just going to trash it?

Huh??? He only has access if they allow him to, even if he's locked in. You'd really have to see one in action man but that's impossible because the larger, multi-purpose ones no longer exist.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to build one myself one day. That and an astro-mech. My Tardis will front into another room, maybe the arcade...
Damn, I really need to do this one day, but it won't fit into my house right now ...

the good thing about them is although they look very roomy inside theyre actually very small on the outside so theyll fit most anywhere
here's mine anyway, its fully functional, just popping to the shops in it in the pic ;)
