Life before mobile phones

I love having mobile phones but there was a time before, when people could be unavailable, dates had to speak to the parents who answered the family phone and mates had to agree a time and place to meet.

Landline phones meant that nights out on the town were a nightmare to organise. If someone missed the bus or was late, the other person would be left waiting without knowing what was going on. Losing a friend on the dance floor could be disastrous and being given someone’s number meant that you would have to speak to them instead of texting.
