Good eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevening Jim and everyone! Good news! Puking Child awoke afresh today with no more puking. Pukesville is finished!
My 4.5hr vax shift turned into 7.5hr with ten minutes to inhale a sandwich so somewhat busier than I'd expected.
Then Wales played Denmark. I wish I'd not watched 
Oh, and holidays in the UK?! Not a fuckin' chance I'm paying £900 for 4 nights ANYWHERE in the UK/NI |

Oh, some were like £2000 for five nights or whatever. This is what happens when international travel is discouraged; you can't confirm time off work till the 11th hour and you need somewhere marginally accessible. I'm resigned to spending the next fortnight in my living room (I'd rather work ) I'll do some more vax shifts instead!
Anyway, rant over  |

"Iain, do you know why phone boxes in Hull are white?"
Because BT and its predecessors don't exist in Hull. This city has always had its own Telephone Company, later to be sold off by the council, the new owners being KCOM.
But Telephone boxes have been the same design as the red Telephone boxes, but the choice here was white. |

I've just given you the reason. The Council owned the Telephone Company, and they chose White as the colour for their phone boxes.
Similarly, Hull didn't have Yellow Pages which listed businesses Telephone numbers. Instead, there was the White Pages Instead, providing continuity from the White phone boxes. |

I get it was different in Hull. I was curious to know why white was chosen. I've looked, nobody knows the reason. The reason is lost in time. |

No, the Council, as Owners wanted an opposing colour to the recognised red phone boxes elsewhere in the UK, so chose White.
There are other facts about Hull's phone system. You'll know of the Caller ID system, it was invented by Hull's phone company and patented world wide.
Also, Hull is the ONLY UK City to have Ultra Fast fibre Broadband installed across the city to homes and businesses. KCOM is spreading out across East Yorkshire, and aim to be in York by early next year. |

I know the council wanted an opposing colour! Are you being deliberately obtuse?! Why white, it's actually cream. And not blue? That's what I'd like to know, and will probably never know. |

Just accept it for what it is! I live in the city and know the answer as many guests in the hotels I ran here in 1990 to 1995 asked me the same question. I had to know the answer, which I sourced from the telephone company's HQ which was then only 100 yards away from my first job. |

Flippin' heck! Red for phone boxes outside of Hull was to mark some Royal family member that I can't remember. Or be bothered to look up. Was cream the favourite colour of wife of the the boss Hull Council? Did Hull council only have cream paint? Was it because cream would be easier to see in the dark? There must have been a reason. I now no longer care what the reason was. |

But Telephone boxes have been the same design as the red Telephone boxes, but the choice here was white.
I learned that last night.
I just wondered if there was a specific reason for white. I'm going to search engine it.
I've just given you the reason. The Council owned the Telephone Company, and they chose White as the colour for their phone boxes.
Similarly, Hull didn't have Yellow Pages which listed businesses Telephone numbers. Instead, there was the White Pages Instead, providing continuity from the White phone boxes.
I get it was different in Hull. I was curious to know why white was chosen. I've looked, nobody knows the reason. The reason is lost in time.
No, the Council, as Owners wanted an opposing colour to the recognised red phone boxes elsewhere in the UK, so chose White.
There are other facts about Hull's phone system. You'll know of the Caller ID system, it was invented by Hull's phone company and patented world wide.
Also, Hull is the ONLY UK City to have Ultra Fast fibre Broadband installed across the city to homes and businesses. KCOM is spreading out across East Yorkshire, and aim to be in York by early next year.
I know the council wanted an opposing colour! Are you being deliberately obtuse?! Why white, it's actually cream. And not blue? That's what I'd like to know, and will probably never know.
Just accept it for what it is! I live in the city and know the answer as many guests in the hotels I ran here in 1990 to 1995 asked me the same question. I had to know the answer, which I sourced from the telephone company's HQ which was then only 100 yards away from my first job.
Flippin' heck! Red for phone boxes outside of Hull was to mark some Royal family member that I can't remember. Or be bothered to look up. Was cream the favourite colour of wife of the the boss Hull Council? Did Hull council only have cream paint? Was it because cream would be easier to see in the dark? There must have been a reason. I now no longer care what the reason was. "
Hull has always done things differently, still do. |

"Iain, do you know why phone boxes in Hull are white?
Because BT and its predecessors don't exist in Hull. This city has always had its own Telephone Company, later to be sold off by the council, the new owners being KCOM.

Worcester is still the epicenter of sauciness we are both doing really well, one more week of silly work hours and then some relaxation time.
How’s things in Shrewsbury? |
