Yes, my friend's family had one and it was really prone to crossed lines, but thanks for your vigilance regarding my posts. Peer review is always important. πŸ˜‰

Sputnik

Sputnik was so big at the time, that America launched their own satellite shortly after and nobody even remembers its name.

Telstar.


Rediffusion TVs with a dial to find the channel rather than a button and a slot you had to put a two shilling coin in to make it come back on again.

Foks sake. My friend had a party line on which he got crossed lines which apparently was a common problem on them. My patience is gone, despite having been a member of a profession where patience is practiced again and again. Does that please you?

I'm 41 and remember all of those things.

You're not as old as you think.
At 41 you wouldn't remember the old crank telephone with the party lines. πŸ˜‰
