That was great actually
They had one in Mrs Dials Dairy
^ Dr. Finlay as well?
But not language like that!
Pen and paper.....
No need to make such a pen and ink.
Daily Mail crap.
Why on earth should she know how to use an old rotary phone?
No more than she should know how to ride a penny farthing bicycle.
Or how to use a typewriter.
It's the 21st century f.f.s.
The old bat of a grandmother should stop dissing the kid simply because the she lives in the present day and Grandma is stuck in the past.
Agreed. I feel sorry for the girl with a mother or grandmother like hers.
It was just a wind up:rofl:
It would be too tiring for obese kids to dial 999 now
Dontcha forget to put dat finger in the hole
How well does the screaming old bat use the girl's iphone
Exactly.Quote:

Stash box?

More kids that don't know how to use a rotary phone or a type-writer.

I wonder how many kids today know that Alexander Graham Bell invented the phone or that Alexandre Graham Kowalski was the first telephone pole.
:)
That pic reminds me Cujo that I must find a developer for some old reels.
I actually posses an old typewriter and phone.
The kids think they are well cool untill their fingers bleed after typing one paragraph.
How the fook did secretaries type 60 words a minute on them things, some 120 wpm.
Our first family phone. Anyone here know how to call someone on it? :)

The generational dumbing down continues.
Yes, pick up the ear piece and if nobody was talking you turned the handle a few times and waited for the operator to come on and ask who you wanted to reach. Our number was 37U, and 3 shorts and a long on the party-line meant the call was for us :)Quote:

Cool :p. I forgot one part of the process, at the end of a call you gave the handle 4 or 5 short turns so everyone else on that line knew it was free again. And yeah, for sure every operator knew everybody's business!.Quote:
