A plan
“It would be nice to know where I stand, really. Then we could plan.” She said.
“Can’t you phone the office?” I asked, “they would be open now. I have a mobile phone which works from France.”
“Do you?”
This was before the days of everybody having one, and before they were so small. Mine was 8 inches long, 3 inches wide and 1.5 inches thick.
I worked a lot in France and needed it to keep in touch with home.
I pulled into a layby and stopped.
“Just put 44 before the number and leave out the first zero”

I remember those days. We had what they called a bag phone. Literally a phone in what looked like a bowling ball bag that you would carry to your car and had an antenna that you had to pull up out of the bag to use it. Mobile indeed.

I remember a brick called the BT Opal in the mid 80s. It was probably responsible for dozens of cases of arthritis back then.
