in the days when we had nice red phone boxes in England.

I went into the phone box and dialled 0 for the operator. When she answered I said:

'Better get off the line, there's a train coming!' giggle giggle

But before I could put the phone down she said 'what's your phone number'

I thought. Ha! Not going to catch me out like that and have the police hammering on this phone box door! So I gave her my home phone number.

duh

Got home and mother was already at the front door wanting to know what I'd been up to.
