Re: New 'Telephone' TV Programme On BBC 4
Haven't seen the programme but it brings back a lot of memories like GPO Morris 8 vans with rubber wings. Our first phone when we got married was on a manual exchange, one or two of the operators were customers of mine and exchanges such as " she's not in today she's gone shopping" were commonplace, it was also useful if you didn't know the number, tell her who it was and she would put you through.
Strangely when we moved down here to very rural Dorset we had an automatic exchange, our number was 'Charmouth 556'
