I remember when we had a “party line”. You could pick up the phone and eavesdrop on your neighbours telephone conversationOriginally Posted by MacAdder
I'm with you
Another couple of telephone things my mother used to go mad about, remember number 16... "The post office dial a disk service" and 8081 the clock?
Also my mother had a padlocked dial on the phone. It would only allow you to dial 999 in an emergency. If you wanted to make any other call you had to put money in a tin that sat by the telephone on the telephone table.
And last but not least, the pop up phone book.
The good old days
