<b>By Suffolk Gazette Staff

A visitor to the countryside expressed outrage today after finding a red telephone box that had not been turned into a free book exchange.</b>

Neville Beaumont spotted the phone box as he drove through a village near Debenham, and thought it was a great opportunity to grab a free book.

But to his horror, he opened the door to find nothing inside but a telephone.

"What use is a telephone in the middle of the countryside to me?" he asked the Suffolk Gazette in a furious email. "I've got my own mobile like everyone else.

"This must be the last functional rural red phone box in the country - trust me to find it."

A spokesman for BT apologised to Mr Beaumont, and promised the box would be stripped of its phone and filled with books nobody wants to read as soon as possible.
