       Phone box caches

       A post from Graculus on a Facebook forum, might be of interest
       to Simon......
       Recently British Telecom contacted Groundspeak (who own
       geocaching.com) after an engineer had found a couple of caches
       inside phone boxes. BT said whilst they didn't want to
       discourage geocaching their engineers would remove any
       containers they found and asked that no more be placed. After
       discussion with Groundspeak the UK reviewers have decided that
       no more caches will be published which are in or attached to
       phone boxes. Any active caches currently in place won't be
       archived but we would ask owners to move them to a new location
       as soon as possible to avoid them being removed. Caches that
       subsequently go missing or are in need of maintenance must be
       archived rather than replaced or repaired.
       Please note that this only applies to phone boxes (of any type)
       operated by British Telecom and not to any operated by other
       telecommunications companies such Kingston Upon Hull Telecom,
       Manx Telecom, Jersey Telecom or Cable & Wireless (Guernsey). Nor
       does it apply to any of the old 'red' phone boxes that are out
       of use and may be owned and maintained as attractions by local
       councils or parish councils. For these normal permission would
       apply.

       Don't really understand why this new rule is in place... Shame

       oh!!!
       That's a real shame, these are proving to be very popular
       caches. We have decided to leave them in place for the time
       being, and see what happens.

       What a real shame, they are were a fun series  :( Not sure what
       harm these small caches could be causing, for BT to ask for
       their removal  ??? :o
