  A “porta-potty” to Americans; not a relative of the vindaloo.

    Any curry dish is a relative of the porta-potty to me.

        And leaves you with an ass like the flag of Japan.

  Wait, Australia, the place notorious for dangerous critters, made small, public enclosed spaces…Without doors? 😂 I’m guessing these were mainly in cities, so maybe the critter problem wasn’t as much of a concern, but I love the image this produces of an Aussie going to make a call and some snake or spider is sitting there around the phone.

    Would you rather be inside with the dangerous critter? Particularly if they thought they were cornered, and became aggressive.

    People tend to be quite tetchy about having a spider land on them while they’re driving. Having one fall on them after they’ve just shut themselves into the phone booth may result in both abject terror, and casualties.
