I thought it was a normal rotary phone, too. I guess I am also a geezer.

Phone numbers used to be given partially as letters and numbers.

A very old famous song  PEnnsylvania 6-5000 (Glenn Miller) was referring to a phone number.

There were letters on the old ones - that's why the dialing codes in the UK are the way they are...  e.g. Glasgow, originally 041, Liverpool 051. Manchester 061

Match up the initial letter of the place name with the number after the 0...

we see a very peculiar telephone with letters linked to numbers.

 

 

Please tell me that there's something else peculiar about this phone - as to me that looks like an ordinary rotary-dial phone.  Or am I just really old???

Ahah i've never seen something like that before (but i'm 25 and the fault is mine 🙂

Get offa my lawn, or I'll call the cops!

Dunno about the rest of the world but here, we phased out letters on phones, years ago.  Now, they are back, since all phones here have some limited SMS capability.

UK phone numbers are a mess.  All land line numbers are supposed to be 7 digits locally but some places - such as the back of beyond where I live - still have 6 digits which are converted to 7 at the exchange.  Which means that some area codes are 4 digits and some - like mine - are 5, even though they aren't really.  Mobiles - that's cell phones to you Transatlantic types - all begin with 07 and are always 11 digits.  

The one thing that really, really hacks me off about numbers here, though, is hardly anyone knows how to write the bleeding things down properly.  They either write the whole thing as one string of digits or break them up into random sequences.  Honestly, it gets me so cheesed off, I could bite a banana in two.

As an aside, my daughter, when she was 2 was given a plastic rotary toy phone.  She instinctively recognized it as a phone, even though the only phones she had ever seen were smartphones (iPhones, Android phones, etc).

How is that even possible?

That is one of the amazing things about some members of the younger generation.  They seem to be born with or quickly develop an intuitive understanding of things. Somewhere in there your daughter saw genus: phone.  Species: dinosaur.

I'm in the Vertigo camp for the identity of Judy, that being Laura or some incarnation of her. The Log Lady (RIP) said, 'Laura is the one.' And always has been. Sent out into the world by the Fireman to rid it of evil, starting with BubbleBob.

I tried to explain my musings here, but collapsed in on myself into a singularity...

Monkey see, monkey do say Judy... 🙂

Exactly. I had the same idea

Have you all been sleeping during the last two episodes? Diane told Gordon Cooper that Judy

was her stepsister, the same Judy that is married to Dougie Jones.

I think you'll find her name is in fact Janey.
