Reminds me of all the backpackers lining up to use a particular phone box in Budapest in the late 1980s, that one could, if you knew the right code, get you free calls home to wherever you wanted in the world.Brett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336471249719806975.post-1710686985470268172015-04-20T05:24:47.974+10:002015-04-20T05:24:47.974+10:00Fascinating.

I got the shock of my life once when I stood on a damp cement floor in bare feet & touched the door of a clothes dryer that was running.
