Hello again!

Hello, number. It's good to see you back again. I hope things are settling down for you and family

Hi number. Your new name gave me a mental image of the Tiller Girls!

Hello number. Thanks for letting us know. I'm a bit slow and wouldn't have made the connection

Like Jane I also would not have made the connection- my mind was thinking of other types of call girls!!!

I also hope that life has settled down a bit and that you are getting some rest.

Thanks for the greetings.
Yes, Bags, we`re getting there, slowly but surely, if it wasn`t for the kids, I`d never have managed, wouldn`t have known half of what needed to be done.
Am I supposed to inform the powers that be that I have rejoined under a new name, or will they know?

Welcome back number callgirl1

Hi number.

I take it you were a 'Call Girl' like myself, a telephonist?

Keep posting.

What exchange did you work on Pogs? I was at Rochdale from 1959 till 1964.

Hi number, I've been hoping you wouldn't abandon us!

Never Kitty! I was able to read all the posts, but wasn`t able to post myself, or pick up pms, so if anyone has pm`d me during the last week and a half, I won`t have got them.

callgirl1, good to see you back on the forum! It'll be good for you, too, to be able to chat with your Gransmates again.
Am I the only one who finds your new name rather saucy.... ?

Hi number, sorry callgirl1! Welcome back

as an aside, two of the Tiller Girls were pupils at my old school (before my time)

No not the only one Marelli

Glad to see you back, hope you'll keep chatting call girl

well, I nearly ignored it thinking that .....

but don't be put off, we know you now!

Welcome back, number, under your new identity.

marelli, thought it was just me .

Good to see you back callgirl . Hope GN will bring you a bit if

It was either callgirl or hellogirl, both sound a bit saucy I suppose, but trust you Marelli, lol!

Welcome back

Leicester, Free Lane Exchange. I loved the old Dolls Eye Switchboard, I bet you did too!

Do you mean the old manual exchange switchboards Pogs? I only ever worked on them when relieving at other exchanges whilst they were converting to automatic. Rochdale was already automatic when I started there. I was sent out to Bolton, Rossendale, Todmorden (complete with ghost) and Bacup. Got quite a few electric shocks from the old manual boards as well.

Nice to see you back callgirl1
You've reminded me of the times when I was occasionally required to relieve the telephonist in my civil service office for short periods. It was a task I didn't look forward to as the 'eyeballs in the sky' switchboard filled me with horror. I dread to think how many calls came to an abrupt end as I pulled the cable and like as not crossed wires with the wrong person. O
You would have been distinctly unimpressed!

Random O there!
