They came in many colours, the first time a coloured phone was available to everyone. Previously the older coloured #telephones were more expensive to rent, so only the wealthy could afford them.

They were quite adaptable and could be wall mounted. #TelephoneSunday

It’s #TelephoneSunday!

Today the GPO 706 #telephone. I bought this unused and still in its original packaging. This dates from 1960 and was made by GEC. The 706 was introduced in 1959 and production stopped for the GPO in 1967. They were often refurbished and still in use for many years afterwards

@wildfirescot Aah yes, but #bakelite comes in all kinds of pretty colours...

And the oceans of #hotChocolate sounds NICE. I think I'll need to subscribe to #TelephoneSunday instead of muting it 😉

@gregorj do you think I’m a sadist? It’ll be wall to wall #cake and oceans of #hotchocolate on #TelephoneSunday and lots of #bakelite (less tasty)

@wildfirescot Hmm, depends. Will there be #cake and #hotChocolate on #TelephoneSunday?

Who remembers Ski Sunday and its funky 70s theme tune?

Anyway I'm going to do #TelephoneSunday as a #tag for all my geeky nerdy telephone stuff. So if you don’t want to see geeky nerdy telephone stuff then mute or block #TelephoneSunday*

*also won’t just be Sunday 😬🤓
