.....and having to repeat things or ask others to repeat what they've just said is frustrating.

Oh, for the old days of the red phone box with it's A and B buttons and (almost) always clear signal.

Even if the nearest one to our house, back in the fifties, was way down the bottom of a muddy farm track.

You can't have it all, can you?

I've not noticed that so far, I tend to make free messenger or wattsapp calls now but i am nostalgic for red phone boxes. I was recently in Gibraltar and they make a feature of red phone boxes and red post boxes there which always brings a tear to my eye.
