@apparently_thats_fine: Before mobile phones, "call me if there's a problem" was basically: Find a phone box, Have 10p, Remember the number. 😂 #GenX #PhoneBox #GenXMemories #80sKids #90sKids #Nostalgia #ApparentlyThatsFine #Relatable #GenXDad #GenXMum #GenXChildhood #GenXHumour
also remember when my parents got their first phone... sat there lookig at it.... pick it up to hear the dial tone... couldn't call anyone... didn't know anyyyone who had a phone, let alone remembr their number. ours was 4544... some people around the corner had a party line... now thats another story....

2p for a phone call... old 1/2 penny same size used to work...
we used to call the house phone, let it ring 3 times, then hang up.... 30 seconds later phone it again, let it ring 3 times, then hang up again... this was a signal to my mum when i was about 9 to come and collect me from the phone box i said that i would be in sheltering from the rain... didn't cost a penny...
