I remember seeing these in Kingston-on-Thames
When they were selling off the iconic old phone boxes many years ago I briefly thougt of buying one, but I think they were around £800 and the shipping would have been brutal. (At least they were thoroughly cleaned out/sanitized and repaiinted, with the "interesting" messages removed.)
Well, if the good phone numbers aren't included, no point in buying one.
Agreed. Having the good phone numbers is probably how we got Stratford on Avon...
They still had a few in Stanley in the Falklands a while back. I think they are used as much for tourist pics as calls.I remember seeing these in Kingston-on-Thames

Sardines and canned corned beef got the biggest workout.
"Bloody Vikings!"
Sardine tins too, I think.
EDIT: Thanks Rustyt. Corned beef was the one I was originally trying to think of. In my mind's eye I could see my mum opening the tin but couldn't think of the contents.

I remember the tabs snapping off of can lids and dad finishing the job with needle nose pliers.
Me, too. Nowadays there's probably an app for that. ("Sorry- no corned beef for dinner tonight, 'cuz the phone battery's dead.")

SPAM cans of Greek HXP .
The advantage to those old tin container slotted key openers was that you could open the tin slowly with no risk of spilling contents or cutting yourself. Now you've gotta grasp the tab, hold the tin down with one hand and pull mightily with the other, hoping the contents won't spew out and that you won't cut yourself when the sharp edged top suddenly comes flying up...
One more chore for long suffering husbands...

A few weeks ago Ruthie was in the kitchen preparing to make a tuna casserole with two cans of big box house brand tuna. I heard grumblings followed by a loud "well, I'll be dipped"!
The cans were defective. The lips were too tall and neither of the can openers blades could reach the lids.
I was called into action to save the day.
