Dad's phone

Oooh - envious! Not my prefered colourway but still... ;)

FA.B

Such a funky telophone!
I love the colour

I rather like the colour. We had thought it was green, but this bluey turqoisey colour is great. It goes well with the hair.

And dad likes blue.

I love it even more now I can see the colours more clearly!

You really felt like you were taking a phone call wit one of these :-)

Funnily enough I rescued our old telephone from my house today, just grey and not working. Design classic, I tells ya!

I remember when using one of them a few years back to call my dads mobile. it took a while and i'd fallen off hte chair laughing how long it had taken before even dialling the number!

would still love a phone like that since ours broke about 13 years ago. boo!

lovely simple shape and colours
I'm with Rich - design classic

loving the big plastic phones that you can't lose. I want a red one, like Khruschev had.

We still have ours, sadly, no longer operational ....

I've always wanted a classic phone like this but one with a push button grid instead of a dial...

There must be one on the great internets.

There must be one on the great internets.

Or two, maybe?

We've got one of these, in red. Don't have a landline at the moment, but when we did it reminded me what a pain in the arse it is to dial numbers on one of these, especially mobile numbers.

Suzi - maybe this one? www.telephones-online.co.uk/item143.htm
(Edit) Ignore me - they've discontinued it.

I've got one in black - the ring scares the bjesus out of me though it's so loud. And it's true it takes so long to dial a number it's easy to forget what you were dialing after a few numbers :D

I think I am in love with it. Very tempted to steal it, but it would be futile.


I don't have a landline.

We still have one rotary dial phone in the house, a white "Princess" phone. I don't use it very often, but when I do, I find it charming, albeit quaint, and fun. I am old enough to remember picking up the telephone and giving the number to the operator! Also, party lines.

where's the camera on this phone :p?

I think you can buy an attachment.

I'll buy it!

Heh. Oh dear.

I love it, my parents still have one of these, bright red like the Bat-phone!

These 746 Telephones were the last of the "Real" telephones" made in the UK. After these phones all the ones that followed were not made to last :-(

I think it would get a little more use if it wasn't in the coldest spot in the house. It has a lovely ring.
