On the way home I’d pass this phone box by the railway station, and I’d ‘drop’ (put) my schoolwork/homework on the floor and pretend to be making a call, but making sure I didn’t step on my own stuff, myself…. And then when some young woman came along and was waiting for the phone (where they’d all ring home, or ring taxis in those days, no mobiles) I’d put down the phone and ‘accidentally’ leave my work on the phone box floor, acting like the line was engaged or like the box hadn’t taken my money. They’d mostly be young office girls in their skirts and heels.
