I used to curse predictive text until my daughter showed me how it actually worked rather than the way I thought it did.

And I'll wager that like me DS used to nip into every empty telephone box he passed on the way to & from school and press button B in the hopes of scoring a few coppers...... Although maybe the chauffeur wouldn't always stop to let him out.  rubschin:

Snap.   Can someone tell me how it worked, I never did find out?    But if we spoke to my Aunt in Birmingham I am sure Button B came in to use.
It's better than I ever even knew.  They say that the world was built for two.  Only worth living if somebody is loving you.  Baby now you do.

You put four pennies in, dialled the number and pressed button A. If you changed your mind you pressed button B to get your money back...

I think...  redface:

1. Put coins in the box.
2. Dial number
3. When the person answers, press button A, coins drop inside.
4. If nobody answers, press button B to get coins back.

If you just wanted to annoy your Aunt, press button B at stage 3.

People often forgot to press button B when a call failed and left the phone box 'loaded'.
Passing scrotes like young Snoopy would go round pressing B in all boxes looking for a windfall.  ;)
