Default Re: Oh for a time machine.

Oh for a time machine, indeed. My first job after leaving school in the late 1960s was a trainee engineer with the GPO, as it then was. I remember visiting subscribers' homes with an experienced engineer fault finding on domestic installations. If and old bakelite telephone was faulty, we replaced it with a new coloured 740 or 746 type, much to the customer's delight. The old bakelite ones were dumped in a skip at the back of the telephone exchange.
