Credit: Ex-Directoryīooking is advised to void disappointment, so you might want to plan ahead with this one. You’ll be fluctuating between drinking and dancing throughout the evening – one moment reclining in the booth and the next boogying on your feet with your telephone-box-shaped bevvies in the air. A cavalcade of DJs and live musicians are often at hand to liven up your evening. Of course, sipping your cocktails won’t be in silence either. But your eyes might stray to Ex-Directory’s ‘Signatures’, which include the Hotline Bling (with French vanilla, violet and fresh basil), the Sour Patch Daiquiri (mixed with bubble-gum, strawberry and a dash of homemade sours) and the Lady Luck (white rum, sweet vermouth, eucalyptus and Prosecco). ![]() ![]() You could choose to keep it classic, channelling your inner Bond as you sip a martini or indulging in a smoky old-fashioned. The array of concoctions on offer will soon have you forgetting everything else instead set on perusing the menu until your practically drooling in anticipation. Once you settle into the tufted leather booths and get started on the cocktails it won’t matter what era you’re in. Whether you opt to don your best 1920’s garms, doll up in pinstripes and polka dots or put on a red Marty-Mcfly-style gilet is down to you, though.

They also have until 31st August to respond to the consultation on the removal of the phone box which is being led by British Telecom.The blast from the past doesn’t stop with the quirky exterior.

For obvious reasons, health has risen to the top of everyone’s agenda this year and one day this kit might just save a life.” I would urge everyone to sign the petition and respond the consultation. I’ve been discussing options with Coventry City Council and would love to hear from anyone else who would like to be involved in this project.”įellow Woodlands Ward Councillor, Peter Male is also supporting the idea: “I think this is a great idea and we’re very grateful to the local shops, pub and hairdressers for the support they’ve given us. However, it was our brilliant residents that suggested converting it into a defibrillator. You can’t port a number that is no longer attached to a provider. So, Woodlands Ward Councillor Gary Ridley has formally objected to its removal while a petition is gathered.Ĭommenting on the idea Cllr Gary Ridley said: “When I first heard about the removal of the phone box, I thought it was understandable as most people now have a mobile phone. While part of the goal of porting your number is to cancel your old service, don’t cancel it before your number has been ported. However, the first thing campaigners must do is persuade BT to leave the phone box in situ while discussions take place. Under the agreement BT pays for the electricity for the first seven years. It’s largely thanks to a scheme which allows local authorities, charities and community groups to take ownership for £1. It follows an announcement by BT that they intend to remove it due to low usage.ĭefibrillators have become a common sight on the high street in recent years as other disused kiosks have been used in this way. Residents and councillors in Mount Nod, Coventry are calling for an old telephone box to be repurposed as a defibrillator.
