I remember when everyone used to answer the telephone by saying there telephone number, this doesnt seem to happen anymore

anyone else remember when it seemed to be the norm to pick up the phone and say your number

i think thats why people dont do it anymore, in the recent climate of cold callers, and random number generators etc.

didnt have any of that nonsense though 15 years or so ago.

not sure why people ever did it in the first place i think it was to give the person calling a chance to realise if they dialled the wrong number.

I always wondered why he said his number when answering the phone Never seen anyone do it personally. If I know hte number it's usually "Alright mate".

My mate's brother used to be a complete tool so would answer the phone with "LEE" in a half-shouting chavvy voice
