BT Lady Who Was She?

[crookedspire]

Please try again said by the BT lady as I hung up in a public phone box . Who was the lady who said these words back then it cost the princely sum of 20 p per call unlike now .

I don't know who the lady was, but in my "back then" it was 3 pennies and press button a or b

Last time I had the misfortune to use a public phone box it cost me 60p !

I do remember press button A or B. The last time I remember using a public phone box it was 2 slots for either a 2p or 10p. Sorry I don't know who the lady was

You remembered to type capital letter A & B

The joy of standing outside a phone box waiting for someone to finish then noticing they'd got a pile of coins ready to feed into the coin box and your only choice was to wait or walk miles to the next one.

Having a phone fitted at home and being the only family around who'd got one. Neighbours coming round to use it and leaving money on the side.

The days when a kids mobile was 2 tins and a piece of string.

Sorry, I've no idea what the woman was called but I'm sure that the informations out there somewhere.

And the joy of checking every phone box within range and finding that someone had forgotten to press "Button B" after a failed call, so that you were 3d richer!

That's right hillsbro. We had a phone box next to our local sweetshop and always used to check on the way there just in case.

3d would get you 12 Black Jacks. Not to be sniffed at.

I was a fruit salad girl myself - 4 for a penny !

[Dreb48]

To be honest Daven. I wouldn't have bought 12 Black Jacks it would have been 4 plus 4 Fruit Salad and maybe some flying saucers. I think a penny got you a few of those.
