I can recall our first phone number from before the std system (ALT 0133) and the later version 061 928 0133 later still they made it 0161... Also my mum's moped reg, ALG 35B from around the same time. I guess I didn't have much on my mind in those days.

The amount of addresses I remember of family members that have been dead for decades… why?
