‘Dullest’ calendar of telephone boxes of Wales fails to sell

A "dull" calendar of red telephone boxes around Wales has struggled to sell a single copy.

The "Fast Disappearing Red Telephone Boxes of Wales 2014" has been branded "naff, nerdy and boring" by its publisher Kevin Beresford.

It has failed to attract any buyers since going on sale in September.

I’m not in the publishing game but I don’t think publishers are supposed to call their own products “naff, nerdy and boring”.

I’m also quite confident that Mr Beresford should never have given the go ahead for this calendar to be made in the first place.

Of course this calendar hasn’t attracted any buyers since it went on sale, who in their right mind would want a calendar with twelve different pictures of a phone box? Nobody obviously.

I wonder what they’ll come up with next year the "Fast Disappearing Business of Kevin Beresford", January could be a picture of his empty diary, May could be a picture of his empty wallet, September a picture of the administrators coming in, and finally December could be Mr Beresford sleeping rough on the street using all his Fast Disappearing Red Telephone Boxes of Wales 2014 calendars as a quilt.


That sounds much more interesting than pictures of a load of telephone boxes.
