\"red<\/a>In today’s paper there have been two separate articles on repurposing.\u00a0 The first was on women repurposing their wedding dresses.\u00a0 One example was a woman who became a minister making hers into a stoal.\u00a0 My wife borrowed her dress off a friend.\u00a0 Enough said on that one.<\/p>\n

The other repurposing article was on the use of the old fashioned but classic British red phone box.\u00a0\u00a0 This was designed by Giles Gilbert Scott in the 1930’s and was voted the greatest British design ever in 2015.\u00a0 Lets not exaggerate.\u00a0 They were not very practical.\u00a0 The doors were heavy and they were frequently used as toilets (see a number of “Not the Nine O’clock News” sketches for reference.\u00a0 Nevertheless whilst there are a surprising 10,000 left, they are under threat and its good to see that people are coming up with alternative uses.\u00a0 BT allow people to adopt them and people are doing just that.\u00a0 The one above was one I came across on the Isle of Man.\u00a0 A bookswap.\u00a0 But many other uses have been found.<\/p>\n

Other uses include, a place for defibrillators, libraries, kiosk shops, repair shops, art galleries, museums, pubs and nightclubs.\u00a0 Just about any use you can think of.\u00a0 Repurposing them stands against the current mania for throwing something away as does reusing your bridal dress.<\/p>\n
