Making contact

 Things change but the basics do not.

The way we contact others especially when away or out of doors has change very much beyond recognition from the days rather like at my boarding school we had payphones you could call your parents and the like from and if out you would use one which at the time they were common place.

Today though while many premises have phones you can use - a good back up in case the iniquitous mobile phone signal has issues - it that we normally use and children often have one with them when at scouts and leaders almost to a man or woman would too.

We would practising making calls - deciding the best person to contact and the most important information to give - back then.

That group looks jam packed around the telephone!
