Emergency services - yes, but those used to be 3 three digit numbers. 122 fire fighters because the 2s form a hose, 133 the police because the 3s look like handcuffs and 144 the ambulance because the 4s look like seats.

Yes I did go out by myself but what was a reason to call my parents? Back then there were 8 houses, a soccer and asphalt field and some woods in my part of the village.

By 10 when I got the biking license I got an old phone as a hand-me-down, but that was the case of pretty much everyone.
