Once upon a time, before Macbooks, smartphones, Snapchat or Twitter, people actually used to talk
Friends would plan in dates, often weeks in advance, and turn up on time. Letters were hand-written onto beautiful sheets of pastel shaded paper, before placing carefully into an envelope, licking a seasonal stamp and sending to a friend they’d never met – but known since childhood. A phone-call to a relative in Australia was a special and fairly expensive event – meeting face-to-face was a dream come true.
What’s Auntie Jean’s postcode again?
And if you didn’t have somebody’s contact details you would reach for the phone directory or call 192.
A modern solution
In the digital age the phone book has gone to the recycling plant. And you’ll possibly need a pay-day loan to call a directory enquiry provider. You can Instalike, live stream or email in a flash. But sometimes the old ways of communicating are the best.
