With all the weird but wonderful AI activity around, I am waiting patiently for someone to walk out of the telephone box.

That's a lovely clear photo. It looks like you could just walk right into it and have a look around. I would love to be able to do that - a lot of those streets were demolished when I was a baby to build the Shopping Centre, so I never got to see them.

Was it the TSB bank on the left, just out of the photo.

Thanks Norman thought it was. My Mum persuaded me to open a saving account when I started work. I used to save £4.00 a month and usually used to draw it out each month to buy new shoes or dress for the Saturday dance. Happy memories.
