        Thinking about the scene in the movie “Airplane”, when the reporters run to the phone booths and knock them down.

        Aren't they scrambling because, in those days, there were fewer telephones than reporters and no one had a cellphone?

        In the Senate press gallery there remains a long row of phone booths on either side of the chamber door, preserved for history. You can imagine the chaos.

        Most of the bright red phone boxes in the UK are empty decorations. Everyone has a cell phone, most will let you make a call.
