Press button A snd speak

'When you hear your correspondent, or when the operator asks you to, press button A and speak'. Well that's what the instructions say, but as a child I was more likely to press button B to see if I could get any money! We didn't have a phone at home until I was 12, so we had to use the public phone box round the corner. Now you wouldn't dream of not having a phone at home, well you wouldn't dream of not taking your mobile with you everywhere you go!

This is from the Milton Keynes Museum which has an interesting section on old phones and mobiles. I went with my friend L on their Heritage Day free entry.
