Christ, that sounds like some kind of civilian equivalent of a numbers station, from the emotionless voice to the terrifying Sinclair Spectrum bleeping. QUATRE HUIT QUINZE SEIZE VINGT-TROIS QUARANTE-DEUX. QUATRE HUIT QUINZE SEIZE VINGT-TROIS QUARANTE-DEUX. QUATRE HUIT QUINZE SEIZE VINGT-TROIS QUARANTE-DEUX. [bleeeeeep bleep bleep]

I lived near Liverpool, and there was a number that you could dial to listen live to the the local station Radio City: Much more convenient than switching on the radio itself. Luckily, my elderly grandparents never realised it was me due to lack of itemised billing at the time – hooray for the past!

There are times when I wish I were living in a past era.

This is not one of them.

I used to dial 061 to listen to them backwards in hope of finding “satanic messages”

I used to ring 161. Got the same tracks but illegal and free.

I remember getting in horrendous trouble as a child for racking up debt so I could hear my favourite songs. So unreasonable were my parents, you think with my dad being a miner on strike they’d have had other things to worry about.

Where I came from, Dial-a-disc shared 160 with the cricket scores. You paid your money and took your chance, and most of the time it was an in-depth look at the Derbyshire vs Kent scorecard.
