Free telephone calls

[Susan Kintscher (Lineker)]

Do anyone of you remember the free telephone calls our parents got????
Boy this just opened it up for abuse.  I remember us calling people with the surname of a colour and saying .. "Hello is this Mrs Brown?" and they would answer "No, this is Mrs Green" and then we would laugh and say sorry wrong colour!!
Then there were the other phone calls, not going to tell you otherwise i may have a few lawyer letter being sent my way... ::) ::)

I remember the free phones - you mean they are no more?!!!  I can even remember our number was 243.  Also the tickeys - bought most things in our day - tickey cone, tickey lucky packet.  High living!

I remember the pray line 3777. You phone it let it start hang up , phone back , it would be engaged , so you dial 2 and wait for phone back call and then run

Our's was 484 and our box number was 435 - I'm sure nobody's interested but I just thought I would upstage Robert ...
