The four digit phone number is a while back but not that far. Living in
Manassas VA in about 1973, local phone calls still used a four digit number.

It was still in use within its own calling zone in Bedford, VA in 1988. I think
it was '89, maybe '90, when we got a lot more convenience...I could dial
England directly, but could no longer dial my up the road neighbor with 4
digits. Had to use 7.

Somehow, that never computed, particularly since it had been 30 years since I
knew anyone living in England.
