In this age of cell phones, there's still a lot to be said about landlines.
Namely when you are trying to speak to someone, it doesn't come out like, "Hello? garble, garble, garble hear me garble, garble, garble can't hear you garble, garble, garble hear what you said garble, garble, garble *CLICK* Hello? Hello? Hello?"

:mad:

He's calling to tell me where he is - everywhere around here is named for Welsh towns

Bryn Mawr, Gladwynne, Bala Cynwyd, Gwynedd, etc.
