And the public phones were indestructible.
There was no way to dammage them without equipment.

In Belgium.
They were wildly expensive and one time when I needed one in an emergency I ran out of coins.
You needed one hand free to continuously feed them money.
I got mad, smashed the horn, pulled on the wire/cable with all I had.
It did absolutely nothing.

I see, thanks! We may have had kind of the same in France. I can't remember any with coins, they ran with cards at that time
