Lovely bit of history there. How times have changed. I love the old telephone number Tottenham 1020. I'm old enough to remember 4 digit phone numbers (3 digits in villages I believe). People used to answer the phone by reciting their own telephone number, which nowadays strikes me as a peculiar habit to have formed. I suppose in the days of rotary dial phones it was much more common to call a wrong number and that was a way of cutting confusion off at the pass?
And I can’t remember the last time I got a call on the landline.I can't remember the last time I received a wrong number... (not including PPI !!!)
