Authentic London Reproduction Phone Booth

[Fabius]

Thank goodness the seller made it clear. I certainly don't want one of those fake reproductions. I only collect authentic reproductions. From the size of the booth people in London are 3 feet (91 cm) tall?

Looks to be loosely K6-ish, but, yeah, we the people of this little island aren't little ourselves...

Man, streetlights in England are huge.

Do they even call it England anymore, or just Great Britain ?

Well, if you're in Northern Ireland, Wales or Scotland, it's generally bad form to call it England, often resulting in a lynching...

(Great Britain and United Kingdom refer to the island groups, barring the Republic of Ireland)

What a little cupboard.  It must've schrank in the wash!

Then what Was England ?

In ye olde days when the world was flat, America didn't exist, people feared the unknown, mud huts were the height of fashion, and every village had their own kings and queens, some lesser-educated types referred to the island of England, Scotland and Wales as "England", long before the existence of the GPO K6 Telephone box... 

The Romans referred to England and Wales as "Britannia", and Scotland as "Caledonia", so, technically, Britain was first...

But England still exists? It has defined area, borders and it's flag (St George's Cross).

[twocvbloke]

Yes, it still exists, hence why I said previously that it's bad form to call Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland as "England", many centuries ago they were all referred to erroneously as England, and some still think it's that way today...

Of course some of us see that there are two Englands, North England and South England, based on the political divide that causes a lot of friction...
