Are you sure that was all they smelt of[/QUOTE]
Yes......but as I recall I tended not to linger for any longer than was necessary and I certainly didn't spend any time there analysing the smells assailing my nostrils.
I do recall phoning home to my wife with difficulty. The nearest of the two boxes, although behind the spectator banking, was probably only 20 metres from the track.
Coins only initially, later phonecards only (40FF from Carrefour), but after that we all had mobiles anyway and the phone boxes soon disappeared.
