Phone numbers
Remember those, when you had to dial a number and not look up a name in your address book?

I do know my own mobile number, which is quite rare.
I remember when dialling a number actually meant using a dial that went "ugh urrgh"* each time you dialled a number.

*That's the number 2, if you wanted a zero, it went "ugh urrrrrrrghh"

That's your number 2?
You should see a Dr.

No but it's the noise I make.

I went to a boarding school, and there were five 'phones between about 700 of us.
Waaaaaay before mobile 'phones.

I reckon at any given time I'd probably have around 15-20 numbers in my head - my mum, my dad, my sisters, uncle & aunt, grandparents, and sundry mates and lots of girls - all of which I could recite instantly.

Now? I often have to use my mobile's address book to look up my home land-line number ...
