thismazQuestion for my American flisters. Please can you help?
If you need to make a collects call, what happens? I mean...
I guess you dial the operator. If it's a public phone box, what number do you dial?
What do you ask them? "I want to make a collect call to..." Is that it?
What would they say?
What happens when the phone at the other end rings?
ETA: I'm asking the question in the context of it being 1997. Sorry, I should have thought to say that.
That's it. Any advice, appreciated.
The other bit of this post is because for months, every time I logged on, LJ was asking me if I wanted to post a poll.
So why do I want to post this poll?
. - because I've never done one before.
What's it about?
. - Whether I should do a poll.
[Poll #929765]
*Wipes brow* It's taken me an hour and a half to do this post.
