I've just listened to someone on a local radio phone in talking about how they contacted friends and others without landline telephones,mobile phones and the internet,many years ago. Before my mum and dad got a telephone in 1974 we'd use the red box phone five minutes walk away (often waiting five minutes in the pouring rain for the one already using it to leave), or post written notes through the doors of those who didn't have home telephones. I remember my mum often giving me a scribbled note,telling me to post it through street number so and so,which could be half a mile away! How did you communicate with family,friends and others in those days...if you were there and can remember them?🤔
