If you want to sepak to a human, don't make any selections.

Hmmm. Normally that's my tactic too; but I phoned my phone
company recently, and I was told by The Voice that I would be
disconnected if I didn't make a selection!

What happens, I wonder, if you still have an old-fashioned phone
that doesn't have a tone system?

I've often wondered that meself. Where can I get one? I'd love an
old ringing phone with a dially dial, in that old fashioned green
colour.

Ahem! If you're going to have an old-fashioned phone, it has to be
*black*, not one of these new-fangled *coloured* things. It's bad
enough having that ugly dial thing on it.

When I was a boy, you just picked up the phone, and a nice girl's voice
asked you what number you wanted and dialled it for you. None of this
prodding buttons or twirling a dially thing. It was really very
impressive; she sounded just like a human being. I wonder why that
technology never caught on ...
