Oh yes, the red call box , hehe, they were awful. Then my mum got a phone but we had a shared line, a party line with a lady round the corner. Those were the days, haha.
When we first got an automatic washer my mum and I used to take the mick out of my dad cos he thought it was marvellous, truth be told, we did too, a washing machine with a brain, amazing.
Talking of washing, thanks Dee, I'm getting there, amazingly. Life's great without booze in the formula and a lot of SR.
