What Time Roughly Was The Bedroom Telephone Put In The Kitchen?

[Vertigo Swirl]

What am I on about?   I'm on about the rotary dialled phone being synonomous with BT issued which isn't the case with the push buttoned phone.

What questions remain unanswered?

There are two photos of 1984 Statesmen on that linked clearly labelled GPO.

The GPO didn't do telephones in 1984.

It isn't the iconic rotary dial phone that was the only telephone available for years. When you ordered a phone line from the GPO they brought one of those to plug in.

We can see from soc images that the rotary dial lead is trailing through the hatch from the kitchen to the drinks cupboard where the GPO socket was situated as per Mr Pike.

Was the Statesman phone plug compatible with the BT socket?

Was the Statesman phone plug compatible with the BT socket?

Of course, given that it was distributed by the GPO.

You can still buy rotary phones now

That kitchen phone WAS a GPO phone — it says it in black and white

Oh, and it WORKED.

So why did Jeremy Bamber HIDE it?

Of course it was

They didn’t have it as an ornament

It’s all recorded, anyway

You’re going against FACTUAL evidence

The GPO became BT in 1981.

The kitchen socket was compatible with the walkabout phone; the cream GPO Statesman phone they always used in the kitchen; and the cream rotary bedroom phone.

You know the rotary phone worked in the kitchen because the the police listened got BT to listen in on the line.

Which still begs the question: why was the cream Statesman GPO phone hidden amongst the magazines when it was in perfect working order? Why remove it? Why HIDE it?

Friendly reminder: Jeremy Bamber murdered his family in August 1985 — four years after the GPO became BT.

Give it a rest, Gunit

That kitchen phone WAS a GPO phone — it says it in black and white FGS

So why did Jeremy Bamber HIDE it? Eh?

Don’t make out you can’t understand it....

Mr Pike said the phone in the kitchen on 5th was a GPO phone. The Statesman was a BT phone.

I don't think the kitchen socket was compatible with the cordless phone hence the 2 way adapter.

Mr Pike said the phone in the kitchen on 5th was a GPO phone. The Statesman was a BT phone.

I doubt the BT Statesman (connector) was compatible with the GPO socket in the kitchen hence the 2 way adapter which was taken away by Mr Pike with the cordless phone.  Hence the GPO issued cream rotary dial phone was brought down from the bedroom. 

Maybe June asked NB to put it back when they went to bed and it was overlooked?  Why did June walk around the bed and back again if not an attempt to access the phone?  June's mother was elderly and bedridden so she would probably want to be near a phone during the night.

According to the cleaner the phone was on the left side of the bed, which was where June slept.

I always thought it was kept NB's side.  Did Jean B mean left looking at the bed foot end?

The Statesman was a GPO phone

Check it

[ISpyWithMyEye]

The Statesman came out after the GPO changed it's name, so it wouldn't be known as a GPO phone.

For the last time...

THIS is the GPO STATESMAN telephone in cream, pushbutton, that the Bambers’ had in their kitchen

It came out in the early 1980s

It’s the phone Mr Pike referred to

It was in perfect working order


Why can’t you accept that?

The Statesman was a BT (British Telecom) phone.  Look at the embossed logo...
