Dial-a-disc? You used to phone a certain number (we used to do it from a phone box) and listen to a record in the charts. The PO selected the record for that week.


Regularly a friend would ask "Do you know what's on Dial-a-Disc this week?".


 What were we like eh?

Oh yes! I remember dial-a-disc!


I actually remember before it was straight dial through, you had to dial the operator to put you through!!


Usually songs like Alvin Stardust or Donny Osmond ....... oh, wild halcyon days

Can't remember the number. If the song was naff, we used to boo and hiss down the phone!

Years ago, when your money ran out in a pay phone, there was an electronic sound that went "bep, bep, bep, bep, bep". They used to call it the pips - I'd forgotten that until lorri reminded me. Nothing to do with Phyllis, promise.
