Lets go back to BT and national phone network ownership. All these cowboys couldn't get a look in then.

If Skype keeps growing at the rate it is, BT will be stuffed.

No I don't remember that but I do remember having a 'party line' on our own phone.  This meant you shared the line with a neighbour and you had to press a button before you dialled to see if they were using it!

My cousin still had an analogue dial phone until last month and only stopped using it when it seized up.

What? You mean you have to put your finger in the dial and turn it to dial out? No! I don't believe it! 


Like we did until about 10 years ago?

I can remember in the days before STD. When you picked up the phone and waited to be asked by the operator "what number please?"


Stangely comforting... you felt like your call was in safe hands.


I'm welling up here!

I remember when Alexander Graham Bell brought the first one into my shop to show me... I said they'd never sell - what a mistake...

Those phones were better because when we rang someone we didn't get 'press 1 for this and 2 for that and 3 for the other'
