Those were the days
Those were the days my friend,
We thought they'd never end
- English lyrics by Gene Raskin
We still say that we dial a number, don't we? And you hang up at the end of a call. That goes back even further. Any other suggestions for terms we still use, but which are no longer appropriate?
You won't find this sign in Venice - it's in Pellestrina.

Love, love, love it!
Don't hold back - tell us what you really think!
Love the reference to Gene Raskin...
I sing that song all the time!
Ciao~
What a wonderful old sign.
What Randy said ...
What a great capture, Bert. Do you suppose we'll ever jettison those original terms? I hope not. Brings back memories. My grandmother, who was born in 1885 and didn't have a phone in her home until she was in her 40s, had one exactly like this well into the 1970s.
Am I weird? I still have a phone I hang up! (although no dialing involved!) Love the sign!!
