Thanks to the @iet_mwc for their kind invitation to talk about Military Communications and the role of the Royal Signals during WW2 - @signalsmuseum #CertaCito
Finland's last analogue landline phones go silent after 150 years | Euronews. The UK shouldn’t be far behind in retiring the PSTN. euronews.com/next/2026/06/3…
A first for me - yesterday I was invited to deliver a talk at a Garden Centre! I was at J.Parker's, Daisy Nook, talking about #phoneboxes and afterwards, buying plants. Nicely combining two hobbies in one. #telecoms #heritage #gardening
On Friday 24th April I had the special privilege of delivering a talk about the British Phone Box to the Friends of Beamish Museum. This was hosted in their Welfare Hall which is part of the 1950s town, an area of the museum that hosts a K6. @Beamish_Museum #Phonebox #telecoms
Spent yesterday morning at Manchester Central keeping up to date with the latest developments in IT by attending DTX Manchester @DTX360 dtxevents.io/manchester As expected, AI, cyber-security, and cloud were dominant.
@shut_up_stewart @BenThompsonTV That’s kind of you to say, thank you.
The K2, with its perforated crown for ventilation and a roof inspired by the Soane Memorial, is a design classic. See the original wooden prototype at Burlington House, London, W1J 0BF and learn more at the National Collection of Telephone Kiosks @AvoncroftMuseum #phonebox #K2
Celebrating 150 years of the telephone. #OTD in 1876 Alexander Graham Bell submitted his patent for the telephone. These images show how the British landline telephone has evolved from a wall mounted wooden box to a cordless digital phone.
Back on @SalfordUni campus today to deliver a seminar to a group of first year students. Exploring the technology that underpins the cloud.
@srerobinson @phone_museum @kblakeslee @GSMA @MWCHub @0000ffblue @BrianGreasley @SpringhamJustin @benwood Excellent. Preserve it. Hope you kept the box and all of the paperwork too.
Delighted to be returning to #TheIET, Savoy Place in December to deliver a lecture about the cameraphone. Most people now carry a camera with them wherever they go and wow, what an impact it has had. If you want to know more then come along, it's free. events.theiet.org/events/the-ris…

Changing priorities. Same location - interesting to see that two KX100 kiosks have now been replaced by parcel lockers.
Been having a bit of trouble with my satellite TV signal, so I thought I'd try a bigger dish!
Here is something you don't see very often - a naked cellular monopole. This one is from Hutchinson Engineering on show at #ConnectedNorth in Manchester Central.
On Friday 28th March I delivered a lecture to #TheIET at Savoy Place in London on the subject of "Telecom Towers, Masts, and Poles". Celebrating one of the visible faces of the telecoms industry. It was recorded by IETtv and can be viewed here: tv.theiet.org/?videoid=18181
