How it started

[Adam]

Which begs my previous question: why telephone Jeremy at all?

So he could resolve everything.

[Kaldin]

Would you?

Don't you keep your right hand free? To write with perhaps?

If I was planning to write something, yes. Maybe it depends on which ear is the best one.

I guess so.

Quoting my own post.

To be honest, in 1985 I doubt that Bamber could resolve a tin of tuna.

I have a table either side of my settee. It depends which table the phone happens to be on, as to which hand I pick it up with.

I’m a receptionist so I answer with my right hand then hold in with my neck and write with my right hand . Am I mad

Which way is the receiver put down? Left facing or right? Or straight down? I can't find the picture :/

Yes.

Not sure what you mean. Here's a photo.

Thanks Hartley, I think it looks like a right handed person has out it down? But then why not just out it back on the cradle?

If that's how it was found, surely Jeremy would have heard it being put down?

I can't remember old phones like that, is there a button to disconnect the call? Or is it automatically disconnected when the hand piece gets put back on the cradle?

Do you see that bit in the front of the phone that sticks slightly up ? If that's depressed it will cut the call.

Yes, there's an automatic cut off when the receiver is replaced on the cradle.

[Lucy522]

It would be just as easy to replace it, or it's been thrown down by someone?
