    Zeity - You need to eat this one, he is a real train spotter.

    No ringing of the till: 'Boring' phone boxes of Wales calendar fails to sell a single copy | Mail Online

    It showed a disappearing feature of the British landscape - and even included 'glamour' spots of Wales.

    But it would appear that even with that enticing sell, the 'Fast Disappearing Red Telephone Boxes of Wales 2014' failed to lure in buyers.

    The calendar has failed to sell a single copy - with just 41 days until the New Year.

    And even the publisher admitted some people found it 'naff, nerdy and boring' - but he hoped there was a specialist interest on old phone boxes.
    Frustrated Kevin added: 'Looking at the front cover with a somewhat dilapidated red telephone box, coupled with two strutting Mallard ducks in the obscure town of Talybon.

    'On Usk, maybe I can somewhat understand the lack of interest amongst the paying public out there.

    Businessman Kevin, of Redditch, near Birmingham, started making calenders in 2003.

    He had a huge hit with 12 roundabouts in Redditch - which sold 100,000 worldwide - but his best seller is a road kill calender.

    Kevin, who runs the Roundabout Appreciation Society, has also made calendars featuring prisons, graveyards and hospitals.
    so glad such people exist.
