I find it funny....

But surely most of the phone boxes these days have ruddy great gaps at the bottom, what the hell would they need air fresheners for???

At last - the answer

my son is in the bomb squad and frequently gets called out to suspicious packages, usually they are nothing to worry about but one day, as we have seen in the past, it could be for real. I find it sickening that people  find this to be amusing. Get real and live in the real world.

[Pride of Bostonshire]

YC, who in the real world would want to bomb Boston?

[Bartmac]

The Germans did in the 2nd World War!

[Seenbetter]

Thats only cos they mistook it for a bomb dump.

Yellowcoat I find it amusing because it was a BT fitment to a BT telephone box, I would have thought anyone with the job of inspecting telephone boxed should be fully aware of such devices.

I fully support the brave and difficult work of all our armed services. However, if someone directly involved could not see the amusing side then I can only say at least I found it amusing and was not describing anyone as incompetent.
