Must be the phone, we don't know what you look like.

Looks fine to me, but then it is a british-made phone...

[Greg G.]

Clean it up and it will look like a million bucks.  This one may not be the most elegant, but I wouldn't mind having it in my collection.

That has never stroke me, but it is a lot of worse looking phones "by my opinion"  A lot of retro telephones, some of the last designes of German rotary wall telephones among others. 

When you clean, and polish your phone and hang it with the top approx 130 cm up from the floor. Its not looking bad.

To be honest, I don't really like the design of the majority of foreign phones, I'm just not used to seeing them. You're used to seeing simple designs like the 500, 302, 354, 554, trimline, 2500, 2554... And then you suddenly see phones like the GPO series.

It's like seeing Ford F150s and and Chevy Caprices all your life, and then your see your first Lamborghini, but that's just my opinion.

I'd rather look at a Mercedes R107 SL than a Fiso or Caprice myself...

Well, A Caprice is pretty butt-ugly, but I meant it in terms of being plain compared to the radical shapes of a Lamborghini.

Or your first Trabant.

The Trabant, you can smell them before you see them, their 2-stroke engines are pretty stinky things...

Plus they made the bodyshells out of cloth, using glue that won't degrade, can't be burnt (toxic fumes), can't be recycled, and can't be disposed of, so those things'll be around forever, well, the shells will be, the metal parts'll rust away....

[Greg G.]

Are Yugos still around?

[twocvbloke]

Thankfully they're Yu-gone...

Though that said they were being made up until November 2008, but not sold here, horrible things they were...

Ugh, the Trabant, worst car on Planet Earth...
Built for decades, but should never have been built in the first place...

But, they helped with liberating an oppressed people, namely the residents of East Germany before the wall was pulled down, dunno why people keep them going today though, all the horsepower of a lawnmower and belching more smoke than a pack of cuban cigars...

Well, yeah, it should have been a short-term vehicle, and I think it was initially designed to be.
