If that doubled as a map of phone prefixes it would be so cool.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Yeah, missed opportunity that would have actually been useful at the time.
I’m sure that under the receiver it says

Oh Danny boy! Can you hear the landline calling?
I need an irish unification phone in my life.
It will only call 048 026 0601
Irish I had one
at least a simple post with no political interpretation possible
Didn't realize Letterkenny was a town in Ireland too
Yes! A lot of places in Ontario are named after places in Ireland, England, Scotland etc actually.
OK, now this is embarrassing. I also didn't realize the show Letterkenny was named for a town in Ontario. I thought it was a Broken Lizard or Kids in the Hall situation 🤦♂️
It's a great show! My favourite of all shows. It's based on the town of Listowel Ontario though.
Right next to Dary (sp) no less
I thought the bit in the north was a part of another country?
Interesting little ditty: At the time that phone was out, The Republic of Ireland held a constitutional claim on the whole island. Only with the peace process was it agreed to remove that claim.
It's calling it 'Derry' too so the phone is firmly taking a stance.
What else is it called?
The official name is "Londonderry".
