Back in my Civil Service days, working in the state pension arm of the Department for Work and Pensions, a little old lady rang in with some query or other. According to the officer who spoke to her, she referred to us as the Department for Walking Pencils, and a better description I never heard.
Skype isn't a rotary phone dude. He he, you make it sound old. "Back in my Civil Service Days"....
Just being silly, but you make it sound like Morris code.....
"When I was your age, we used fire and blankets and smoke signals"........ Meh, I'm going to be 50 in September so..... I can remember when modems were referred to as "baud" when computers had nothing but green text.
