Alan Spencer has sent two interesting pieces of information:
Last day of use Telegram
This telegram (below) was issued on the last day of the Telegram service, Saturday 1st October 1982 – coincidently my late fathers’ birthday.
The telegram was issued at, what was then, the main Birmingham Post Office in Victoria Square.
The Counter clerk was very reluctant to issue a Telegram as they were being discontinued. It took me nearly 15 minutes for me to persuade him that I really did want to send a telegram but eventually I was successful!
