Couldn't resist posting this pic of the underside of an EBay 500 showing a piece of gum still stuck to the bottom.....

Literally, 'sold in its juice' :o   Yuk.

Wonder if it's also advertised for sale on Gumtree.  ;)

LOL!  :D

I've had barn fresh phones before, complete with straw and dead insects, but this adds a whole new dimension.

I have found payphones with gum on them, but never a home phone.   :o

It makes me wonder, how old is the gum?
I suspect not quite as old as 4/56.
