  • @OofusTwillip yes but i dont think more than 2 households shared

  • In the USA, there would have been many additional parties to a call, if one were on a "party line". On a party line, many households were just extensions on a single line, so anyone could just pick up their phone & listen in.

    Did the GPO use a party line system in the UK?

  • The girl is actress Charlotte Leigh - her brother, Walter Leigh wrote the music. Love that enunciation!

  • "the Distant Subscrrrriber"

  • Chichester New Park Centre - England. Funnily enough they just had the GPO compilation (of which this was a part) back there. You can also get it on DVD now.

  • what cinema you going to man?

  • Just saw this at the cinema - very (intentionaly) funny.
