As the box in the badlands of South London says ‘It’s not what you get but what you leave behind’. The creation of a phonebox library expresses a communion with your fellow humans, all the more so since it’s an honesty communion. This is certainly missing the point though. It does seem wonderfully anachronistic to replace even a mobile library with a space that must hold a few dozen books tops.

There’s an interactive map here with a full list of UK locations. The libraries seem the most popular though with more than 150 communities going down that road. In other news they have also been converted into galleries, tea stops, card shops and defibrillator access points. In the same year BT introduced their Adopt a Phonebox scheme for a nominal £1 you can use your box for anything you fancy, except telephony. On losing their mobile library they decided to convert their K6 box into a static library, albeit a very small one. Production of the red boxes stopped in 1985 but in 2009 the village of Westbury-sub-Mendip gave us a glimpse toward a new dawn for these grand old dames. They are wonderful creations but honestly who needs a phonebox now when 95% of UK households have a mobile? The KX100 version kept the vibe alive for a while but had no sides at the bottom so whilst it lost its iconic design it didn’t stink of wee in quite the same way. The wooden K2 prototype still nestles comfortably under the left hand arch of the Royal Academy in London and there’s enough subtle variants of style and colour across the country to keep any obsessive collector happy but let’s not get sidetracked please. The boxes also turn up in Malta, Bermuda, Cyprus and Gibraltar, just to prove that The Empire wasn’t all bad.
The original crown at the top of the box was the Tudor Crown design, replaced by Queenie in 1953 with St Edward’s crown, as used in coronations and picked out nicely in gold paint since the 1990s.
Wikipedia says the red colour originally caused ‘particular local difficulties and there were many requests for less visible colours’, the famous currant red seems to have been accepted now. The original K2 version was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1926, then updated in 1936 with a similar but smaller, cheaper, K6 version. As famous as any though is the red telephone box. Now I need to find the furniture to go with it.The UK seems to have more iconic designs than any other country the London black cab, red post boxes, the Mini, the London Underground map, the kilt. So given that 500 m is my rentals rule to keep skyboxes out of the view, it means two jumps or something, but it's for a specialty build anyway. Perhaps these obvious "sit" ones are limited. Teleporters work up to 4096 - but with different engines. You have to elect "target" and "just know" that means "the skybox".
#Phonebox hut how to#
I couldn't figure out how to teleport (if that's what it was supposed to do rather than rez) bc the instructions were confusing. I should note that I couldn't get it to rez at her store for some reason, it says it's not available. I bought this sight unseen, despite all the guff here, because I knew it would be cool coming from Scarlet.

There's room for a bed and chair, but I think you solve the problem of it being small by accepting it and simply adding another TP to go into another chamber, or series of chambers, as I will do at Shaman's Hut (I'm going to make a "Sorrow" level). It's more than a hallway - it's sort of a waiting room or outer chamber in a way, as I think of it. You think "anyone could have done that" - but they didn't.
Who holodeck makers have this, but this is different and more decorative. The phone booth idea was genius - sure, the Dr. I like many of Scarlet's buildings, which I realize are sometimes more like sculptures to decorate from outside than to live in (like many SL homes). I was searching under "dark skybox" and found this, and had to have it.
