    ...always turned out to be Clubcall with me, think she'd have been less angry if it actually was a "chat" line

    It was ridiculous looking back, the minimum cost of a call was more than I got per hour in my first job while I was at college, and it told you bugger all 99% of the time.

    Clubcall used to be so sneaky, there would always be an exciting sounding advert on teletext which would entice you to call , only for it to be a complete load of rubbish when you phoned it up. I think the best one I ever fell for was when teletext said something like 'double signing confirmed!' and when I phoned up it was 2 new bloody cats we had brought in as club mascots lol!

    I'm with you dek

    when I started work in 1977 I'd never used a phone before - except for phone booths - you know the red boxy things

    When my parents did relent and actually got a phone my sister ran up a huge bill..................

    cue me dad getting a phone lock.......................happy days.................honest
