The Dog And Bone: Villagers Turn Phone Box Into Pub
A village has opened the smallest pub in the world - in a redundant red phone box.
Locals angered by the loss of their historic local pub set up The Dog and Bone alehouse in the phone box, which has a small 3ft by 3ft floor.
A carpenter created a triangular bar for the barman to stand behind and drinkers lined up outside to order their pints and crisps.

"It took a little imagination and a bit of cleaning - and we got some expert help from staff at The British Queen pub in Meldreth, the next village.
"We just want to demonstrate how thoroughly we need a pub in the village, by using the only facility left in the village.
"Because we are the smallest pub in the world, we only gave out the smallest glasses of beer.
"We must have had 60 or 70 people there. It was great. When the beer ran out at about 10.30pm we called time."
He added: "We might do it again sometime. The powers that be should take note. In Shepreth we can have a good night out in a phone box - imagine wha...
