I saw one of the rotary dial old phones presented to a group of young people maybe 18 - 20, it was quite ammusing, they had absolutely no idea how to operate it!

I love the old 'phones like that. A mate of mine has two of them and I'm sre they're identical to Wayne's. My mate isn't in the 21st Century yet (or even the 20th!) and refuses to have a mobile phone
