The pub phone going off and grown men visibly shrinking, frantic hand signals being made to whoever answers it, lies being told by the answerer, ‘He’s just left or haven’t seen him today love’. Pranksters phoning the pub and asking if Mike Hunt is in the bar, funny if a novice barmaid has answered the phone and she’s shouting out ‘Is Mike Hunt here’. Easy pleased I know but I did love the old Cardiff pub culture, all gone now😢
Dial-a-disc, party lines (not those 0800 types of phone lines but the ones that you shared with your neighbour)

I mentioned both of these recently in work and lots of (young) people didn’t believe me so I had to explain how great the good old days were......🙈
