Not a great photo but I hope an interesting one

In 1990 the London phone number area code changed from 01 to either 081 or 071.
A long time now - very few people had very used a mobile phone and even less a digital camera.
The idea of having a phone camera would have been sci-fi.

See you can imagine why I was surprised to see - this 33 years out of date - phone number on a shop

Neat! A little bit of local history there. Clearly this business isn't interested in updating their sign.

Thank you, this makes me feel old because I was a teenager when this happened. I have only seen 2 other shops like this in the last 20 years.
