Not sure if mentioned before but personal pagers, A while back I seem to remember all management had them plus people who worked in the field, I guess the mobile took over from them.
I had one in British Indian Ocean Territory just 2 year ago. So did everyone. No phone signal, but the pagers worked and was a good way to get everyone together.

Seems like they still have a use.

Is that because Braunton hadn't converted to decimal by then?
