my friend's mumhad a lock on the phone - the old type with a dial - but she was worried that they wouldn't be able to dial 999 in an emergency. So she put it on the 9. They could phone anyone who didn't have a zero in their number.

Oh, but you can tap.Tap the hook down quickly for the numbers, pausing between each digit.
You soon get the knack (as my old landlord found out, when he used to take the dial off the phone).
