Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

My first car was an old orange Mini 850 GJF 822N. But it was older than that as was first registered in the Channel Islands

Did anyone else use the trick of dialling successive two digit town dialing codes to get a long distance call at local rate from a phone box?

You had to dial the first - a local number, (St Albans was 56) wait for a click and then ass somewhere that was local to the first (I think Hemel was 48 ) after the next click you could dieal and get Aylesbury

I think the furthest we got was a call to Lincoln from St Albans :)

(Please excuse the multitude of typos, on the screen keypad as the Bluetooth one needs charging. Must remember to proof read before I hit sumbit)

Thanks for the car ID. I love that it’s a Ford Prefect, especially as I have the same birthday as Douglas Adams. :)

I'd post me childhood phone number but I don't want anyone ringing my parents to tell them what a dick I am. They know.
