Can we see the list without the numbers blacked? My false teeth seem to be broken ……..
0800 sex lines? How in the?
0800 sex line? Unlikely
Makes sense. You put the most often used numbers at the top. How many times you gonna hire a shed?
I like the idea that this was a list they needed to call in that specific order.
They seem to have pretty much every eventuality covered here.
But maybe there’s a story attached to why these specific services came up in this particular order….
I read that as “Pirate Investigators”
0800 28 29 30…’cos we *never* prank called them from phone boxes
The blank one fourth on the list is nice future proofing of further numbers to be added.
Also sex lines were never free (so I hear).
Carlo gas is a great misspelling or Calor gas. If car stolen money back, insurance?
I suspect this a joke list, a funny one at that.
Looks like it was probably a lonely old man that wrote this list.
No internet back then…
An 0800 sex line? Not a chance.
How do I get one of these pirate investigators? I’ve been trying to track down a pirate who swindled me for years now.
Carlo Gas
Slightly disappointed that it’s Private Investigators and not Pirate Investigators like I first thought
I got to the last part of the list and i thought ‘oh cool, Pirate Investigators!’ then I read again and was a bit dissapointed.
I was trying to work out what skiphire was. No idea why that one was so difficult for me to realise when there are so few spaces in between words.
The good old days when sex chat was freeeee
Shame there’s no “0898” numbers on there
Wonder how many of the numbers still work?
The essentials
Looks suspiciously like my dad’s handwriting 🤔
I could use some pirate investigators
I remember the sex line/talk number from pranking it from phone boxes as a kid. They were the days.
An 0800 (free) sex line?
Considering they are 0800 numbers, I wonder if they were just bored and using the free aspect to just find out what each number was.
Kind of like trainspotting for phone numbers
Stick this on /r/foundpaper
Not sure if I believe this list to be corrector genuine as all 0800 numbers in the uk were free to call like chat lines ect would have been 0898 not 0800
Yes
He’s really covered all bases.
I remember back in the early 2000s seeing an ad for a sex line as a child in some telephone box. I didn’t think people wrote them down
I was wondering where I’d left that
0800 are free. Seems sus
Prioritize
Come on call CHATBACK!
That’s a work of art… I’d be framing it and putting it on the wall.
0800 282930 is sex line… many calls from phone boxes with my mates haha
… Who *hires* a shed?
0800 28 29 30 😜
0800 28 29 30 sexual helpline
Someone going through their itemised bill after their kids or partner racked up a huge bill.
Who hires a shed?
Why are they all 0800/0500 numbers?
Why have you blacked the numbers out?
I like that ‘falce teeth’ or ‘fake teeth’ amount to the same thing even though I can’t tell which one is written down here.
