    The traditional red UK telephone box went through several designs from K1 to K6 (the most numerous), most of which were designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.

    1. What is the name of the red colour of the K6 phone box?

    2. The K4 phone box had a post box and stamp machine attached to it. It wasn't very popular, but which of these is NOT one of the criticisms of this design?

    3. How many panes of glass are there in a K6 phone box (probably the most familiar version; not the version in the picture above)?
