webofevil | 1990s phone box cards

Found these last night. Knew they’d come in “useful” one day. (All numbers have been scrambled.)

The image resolution is poor on the original, but from what’s already visible we should all be grateful for that.

1000%, eh? Well, absolutely nothing about this card suggests overcompensation. Still, at least it was one of the very few not to boast that it was a “genuine photograph”.

This card is untampered with. The same pen that wrote the phone number was used to delete “A level” from the menu for the foreseeable. All the possible reasons for this were entirely at odds with the sultry glamour projected by the picture, and speculation about them used to fair make our eyes water. (One possibility is shown further below.)

The final word is entirely unnecessary. Of course you’re Californian.

There were bloody loads of these around at one point. This is all they said. We always presumed they were prostitutes’ cards, but it could have been anything, really. The Samaritans? Or perhaps the Office of National Statistics drumming up interest in the next census.
