The only thing that surprises me is that I am still hanging on.
Like all around at that time, no phones in the home was the norm.
We had one Phone Box just around the corner…Early ones you put your coins in and if the call failed, they came out again… 
Yes press button B and get your money back. I remember them well.
A lot of deception happened in a phone box.
It should not have been so.
I remember those red phone boxes too, Chilli.
Press button A to talk, or button B to get your money back if there was no answer. 
Whoops, sorry Scot, didnt see you had already said that.
Yes, age…
My field was/is industrial power electronics. The changes he been huge within my lifetime. Calculations were long hand on paper. The heavy stuff was on a slide rule. I had a secretary for formal documentations and quotations.
Life moves on, sometimes at a rate of pace. Email and no secretary. Spreadsheets for Excel. Word word documentation. Mobile phones everywhere. I try, more or less,to keep up despite my age - I’m 75 today.

Well done Besoeker for keeping up with technology, I’m afraid I’m stuck in the past but at least I know something about that…
