I don't think there are, so people to approach would be BT? http://www.payphones.bt.com/ Issues of resiting are usually about pavement width, and that location is probably the only one on LL where they could go, as for the sidestreets, the pavements are too narrow to take them. The issue of width being to allow pushchairs past, and we all know how many of them there are...

HeidiHi Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > You all make me laugh so much!:)) Me too, really enjoying this thread... > when my sisters, myself and friends used to >hit the bars, no one would approach us. And that my dear Heidi, is the reason! Taking up the animal angle (As someone has pointed out) the male is by his nature a hunter. Now as anyone who's ever watched a wildlife programme will know, one against a pack seldom is sucessful. All that happens, if a catch is successful, is that the weakest is taken (The ugly friend we all have, to make us look good on a night out) Now, as any chap will tell you, approaching a group of girls is possibly one of the hardest things to do. Walk in, hit the girl of your dreams with an opening gambit, and all the mates will be listening. Even if you're (insert name of fave dreamboat here) and you use your best line, there is still the fear that there is a joker in the pack (Pun intended) who can slay you in one go, sending you scurrying away with your tail firmly between your legs (Which lets face facts was not the legs it was meant to be between. My advice, as have a female friend who is suffering man starvation in Ed too, is to actually get yourself along to events, such as the ED forums, or evening classes, dance classes and so on, where there is something in common, besides the "having a drink to meet someone" approach of the pub. It's a one to one meeting, or more relaxed at any rate. LTP

Since April 1998. Came to London in 1989 (From Durham...I consider it to be missionary work....) having tried Maida Vale, Highgate, Wimbledon Park, Putney & Wimbledon Chase before arriving here. I see there is still much work to do..... ;-)

OK, pub is fine, but the date isn't....AM working the next day and need to be in Bognor Regis for 6:30, so will dip out.....damn and blast.

Good on yer Bob... Alan, why not pitch some "Good" ideas, instead of antagonising? It's easy to criticise, not so easy to be creative... And you could well make a shed load of cash to boot!
