Heh.
I can remember when calling home to East Anglia from St. Andrews required an operator to connect the call.
In those days international had to be booked in advance.
And I didn't think I was all that old.
Actually on second thoughts it's nothing to do with my age - it's because back in the seventies (yes it was that recently) the phone system was run by the state. Need I say more?

Busby was cool, mind you. I had a Busby hat when I were a nipper.
Speaking of which, British Gas have revamped and brought back their little speaking flame character from the early 80s. I had a pack of cards with the British Gas flame on the back when I were little. A nice man in Brighton taught me a particularly good card trick with those cards, with which I am baffling people to this day.
Yeah, I'm rambling.

If you're really that interested, here's an RSS feed for the latest comments to this blog. Never miss another pointless argument.
Of course comments are moderated, in a common-sense sort of a way. You don't have to give your email address to post here.
If you know your HTML, you can use <a>, <b>, and <i> tags, and entities, too. If you don't, you can still use them, but with a greater sense of trepidation.
Cheers.
