Trimphones rock! Amusing that a large quantity of these are classed as low-level nuclear waste but all the tritium has well decayed by now.

Yep we had a Trimphone! It was the only phone that would fit on the window sill in our hall back in the day! Same colour as the one on the right! That electronic ringtone they had was awesome!

Nice collection of phones there, I prefer the 706 to the later 746 as it lacks the coloured dial and seemed better built. I too have a collection of phones from the 50s 60s & 70s including 232s 332s 706s 746s & 1 Trimphone.

LOL whenever I see this thumbnail crop up on the randoms to me, at first glance, particularly the bottom shelf with the Trimphones looks like a display of women's shoes! Must be my eyes where I'm getting old!

It did to me as well! Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes
Danny   [May 14, 2012 at 10:58 PM]
Yes I too have seen that when I look quickly
Kev   [May 14, 2012 at 11:07 PM]
No no me too I thought it was shoes when I saw the comments a min ago lol
FrontSideBus   [May 15, 2012 at 10:32 AM]
Lol!
SuperSix   [May 15, 2012 at 06:02 PM]
LMFAO!!! I see what you mean! I'd be worried if there was a bloke collecting women's shoes though! Shocked
Danny   [May 15, 2012 at 06:19 PM]
You get blokes dressing up AS women which HAS to be worse
SuperSix   [May 15, 2012 at 06:27 PM]
It is!
Tom   [May 15, 2012 at 06:47 PM]
Oo-er!! Emily Howard off of Little Britain springs to mind....
Tom   [Apr 05, 2013 at 09:18 PM]
It's those shoes again! ^^
Paul   [Apr 05, 2013 at 09:18 PM]
LMFAO! It does look like a shoe display!

those were the days in Clarks fiddling with the undershelf fluoros Very Happy Very Happy

Clarks lol. Anybody remember the machine that you stuck your feet an and it would make all sorts of scary mechanical noises and then measure your feet? Laughing

Nice collection of phones, yes I collect as well, perhaps we should have a section devoted to these as well.
Tom   [Jun 19, 2013 at 10:37 PM]
@FSB that Clarks shoe size machine was awesome! I wonder if they're still around for measuring kid's feet these days?
Paul   [Jun 20, 2013 at 07:08 AM]
