If ever there was a sign that perfectly displayed the uselessness of New Labour.

From pubcurmudgeon: Seen in today’s Sunday Times “Atticus” column by Roland White, not at present online:

Walking past a red phone box in my village last week, I noticed for the first time that it contains no actual telephone but a large sign which insists “No smoking”. So the phone box no longer does what it was designed for, and is now just bossy and annoying.

It should be Grade I listed as an outstanding monument to modern government.
