Only for a local call. A few misplaced digits and Mitten could be phoning a Sheila in Sydney. :ohmy:

When my nephew (brain-damaged by hydrocephalus) was in his early teens he twice phoned up the Falkirk fire brigade to my sister's house when he was watching the film 'Towering Inferno'. My sister had to put a lock on the dial (that was in the days before push button phones) ! :o:lol:

Yeah, my mum told me about those phones.

You could get round the lock by slightly depressing the cradle and dialling out the number like morse code...allegedly!

That was back in the day when you still occassionally had cross-talk on telephones. Actually, in Kuwait it was usually rather than occassionally. It was a furtive boyhood joy earwigging on the conversations of others.
