"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
26 March 2004BEechwood 4-5789Yours truly has a guest spot today at The Dawn Patrol, which I used to wax nostalgic about old two-letter telephone exchanges. (If you're reading this in London, make that old three-letter telephone exchanges. And if you're not reading this in London, and you're wondering, as do some readers, "Why do you know this?" — I have a small collection of vintage Radio London jingles, one of which solicits advertising for the station at MAYfair 5361.) Yeah, I know: nobody would call Jenny at UNiversity 7-5309. Or would they?
