It's so strange to think you couldn't even dial Scotland fifty years ago and now sitting in front of your PC you navigate the globe.

I cant believe this was only 50 years ago. How time flies eh?

I remember my gran used to live in Oxford and she called an operator once and they had a scottish accent so asked where they were based and they were like Fife and she was like oh does this cost me more to phone abroad! haha

Anyway yeah go telephones go! :hello:

The actual unaired first long distance phone call made by the Queen:

HRH: "It's 7:20, time for gin and tonic."

lmao of all things to comment on.

It looks like one of those spinny phones though, I used to love those, my nana had one and they were ace. The ones where you have to put your finger in the right circle and twist it round, then let it go back :lovedup:
