ah 1981, just as I was marvelling at dayglo socks, more business oriented minds were looking for ways to replace their secretaries with machines. One such device is featured here - the telephone answering machine. Complete with clunky mechanical buttons, this 24 hour slave will record your calls on a C90 cassette, so you never miss that late-night business opportunity… A snip at £135.

Post Office Approved!

Nice to see that despite the Button telephone bursting onto the scene a mere 9 years earlier, this particular add still sports the classic rotary dialing phone…

Nothing dates as quickly as a vision of the future. From ‘World of Wonder’ 1972.
