Do you mean ‘redundant’?
That’s common
I can understand saving the classic red ones, but not these ones. That being said that the cleanest, and best nick one of those types I’ve ever seen.
Theres a charity that i can’t remember the name of that dose this
Imagine person collapse near here and you find them, imagine you did CPR training and you go through list in your head, you get to step 2 and you realise your phone is dead, and you think, do not panic, maybe is pay phone near by.
May the irony police let me know would this be ironic situation, or just unfortunate coincidence?
Good there getting used for something but still sad to see telephone boxes being phased out
I do find these odd. They remove the phone and place a defibrillator inside that requires a phone to access. Obviously, they need a pass code as someone will try to steal them. But surely they can keep the phone. We are coming too reliant on mobile phones.
Adding an electric device into a public toilet is dangerous
Dono why but this box looks crazy clean for this type phone box I so use to seeing theses dented in glass missing.
There’s a lot of these all over the UK, been around for years.
Every village phone box in rural Cambridgeshire has this.
They did what to a what.
I sometimes wonder if there is some sort of racket or scam going on with these defibrillators.
Cardiac arrest survival rate is 70% if a defibrillator is used within 5 minutes. Down to 20% at 10 minutes.
In order to do this, you need to 1) read the access instructions 2) Call the number to get the access code 3) Read the instructions on how to use it 4) Use the machine correctly.
It’s unlikely someone happens to have a cardiac arrest right next to the machine, so let’s also factor in time to actually get to the machine and back to the person, or drag the person to the machine.
What’s the chance that could all ever realistically be done within 5 minutes?
We have the same in our village, old red telephone box.
_Well, redound my boots, Grommit..!_
The ones in my localish villages are turned into little book exchange/library things.
