Slightly off topic there is a red phone box not far from here in a tiny village not really close to anywhere. It still has a phone but the sign on it says...........

'No Coins'.

I started a new job this week. The telephone on my desk has a bell in it - a genuine domed-brass, ding-aling-dr-dr-ring-dling- bell. :shock:

I haven't used a phone with an actual bell in it since my parents upgraded to a trim-phone in 1977. :shock:

The only plus-side is that it doesn't have a rotary dial.


You're not.......the banker by any chance :D ?
