What a phone number!!!

[High Jetter]

Probably a subject for another (existing?) thread, but I find it interesting how phone numbers have evolved, and lengthened, over the years. The first phone in Eastbourne (Eastbourne 1, natch) was the Albion hotel on the seafront. Later numbers were 4 digits, which then got a 2 in front of them, then a 7 in front of that. Some which started with a 5 then had a zero as the second digit. In more recent times, of course, STD codes went from 4 to 5 digits (outside large cities) when a 1 was inserted after the first zero.

A bloke I used to know told me his phone number when he was a boy was "Saint Helena 8".

I live in a small town and my phone number is only 5 digits. Everyone tells you it’s wrong , must have 6, and online forms won’t accept it.

Put a random digit at the end? As soon as the 5th digit is dialled, it will start to connect.

They look quite pleased with themselves but that looks like a rapidly spreading pool of petrol under (above?) tha back of the car.

Speaking as an habitual moustache-wearer: that's a doozy!

A sad one, he'd been out looking to buy a car in Memphis on what tuned out to be his final day.

I used to know someone who looked & dressed like her.  I've lost touch somewhat but she has taught English in the Far East, most recently in Japan.

This was taken at a Steampunk festival, but her everyday clothing wasn't much different!
