I’m now going to exhaust the interesting things I know about this by saying: he won a competition with his design of the Anglican cathedral despite being a Catholic himself; the Catholic cathedral in Liverpool was conversely designed by an Anglican. The city was a lot more sectarian then than it is now and the cathedrals stand at either end of a road called Hope Street.

There’s not many phone boxes left in the UK of any design now.

I’ve seen a few converted into tiny libraries or art displays.

The red ones converted to something else I always enjoy. We even have some of them here in Germany now.

What did they convert to? I can’t tell if this is a joke I just don’t understand or what

So the tardis lost her ability to adopt to the time and environment? What a shame.

I’ve always said that Tardis would take the appearance of a chemical toilet in today’s world.

It can be placed everywhere without raising any suspicion at all.

Well yes, that’s the explanation given for masquerading as a police box from the 60s at all times, chameleon circuits are broken and brakes are stuck on

The TARDIS is a police box, not a regular telephone box. Very few of them survive now.
