In 1966 it would have been 041 889 9010. I remember my grandma's phone
number that went from 62115 to 662115 to 2662115.


The phone when I was a kid had no dial. You picked up the phone and an
operator said "Number please".


you are joking !


There were manual exchanges in use in teh early 60's. BYPass in Edinburgh
