WHAT SONG DID 'THE ROLLING STONES' SING.<br /><br />Andy Young<br />Hi SUI PANG, thanks for being the first thumbs up. Do you know all the top stars in the phone booth... More than 10 of them on the blog.<br /> <br />Andy Young<br />THANKS SER KIONG. TRUE SUPPORTER. CHEERS.<br /> <br />Stephen Han<br />I remember there was a phone booth besides the Silver Owl Cake Shop in Orchard Rd /Dhoby Ghuat. My friend used to call his gf now his wife from the booth. <br /><br />When he cracked some jokes our friend, Albert Sum and myself would laugh out quite loudly. There was a traffic policeman on duty nearby and thought we were laughing at him cause he was in black uniform. He started to question us and said itβs illegal to have three persons on the phone booth.<br /><br />I argued there was no such rule. He was not happy that we laughed and I said we were not laughing. Not satisfied he called a police van and brought me to K K Police Station. I was released after I have a favourable statement to the police inspector. ζζ―<br /><br />Freda Hanum<br />Such an interesting article on telephone booths and the superstars, so unique, Such a vast change of before telephones compared to now.<br /> <br />Andy Young<br />Wow Stephen, what an interesting story. I need to make it into an independent posting for the blog. Thanks so much. <br /><br />And Freda, thank you for reminding us of the vast change because we seniors understand but the young don't. THANKS to others who LIKE this post.<br /><br />Stephen Han<br />Andy Young - Have you tried the curry puffs at the Silver Owl Cake Shop. It was fantastically good, nowadays you canβt find such delicious curry puffs.<br /><br />Andy Young<br />No, I don't remember this place, Stephen. But now I know. Thanks to you. Yes it's true about today's curry-puffs, no more delicious like the ones from the 60s.<br /> FACEBOOK CHATSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-71724971795008987502017-01-18T11:37:15.524+08:002017-01-18T11:37:15.524+08:00Dear Andy,

I wonder if you remember the Billy Fury song, 'Phone Call' from his classic early album, 'The Sound of Fury'? Just a thought.

Ticketing was used.<br /><br />In 1899 it was replaced by a coin-operated telephone.<br /><br />William Gray is credited with inventing the coin payphone in the United States in 1889.<br /><br />The first telephone booth in London, England was probably in High Holborn in May 1903.<br /><br />Starting in the 1970's pay telephones were less in booths in the US. In many cities booths have been completely replaced by non-enclosed ones. <br /><br />Phone boxes declined sharply in Britain since late 1990's due to the boom of mobile phones.<br /><br />Now they have become art artifacts, converted into mini-shops, tiny libraries or just left to disintegrate.<br /><br />Let me know if you see one for free.chakap chakapnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-15153560455116663702017-01-11T13:08:18.219+08:002017-01-11T13:08:18.219+08:00Thanks B.

And maybe one of the dude in the brick wall is Cliff Richard? Is it Mick Jagger in the pastel green suit.<br /><br />As for the SG band I think it might be the Quests or the Stylers?
