That will confuse the organisations with menus where you have to press * or #!

I still have a very early push button one with no * or #, and it takes as long to dial through as yours Terry!

Trimphone if I recall?

Yes Rod a Trimphone from 1976,sadly a lot of the dial models were scrapped by the Post Office as they had a luminous dial with a very low radiation output,at the time nobody worked out they could just replace the dial to a standard one, the push button ones are easier to find but they relied on a internal battery which could go flat in 12-18 months,the battery has not been made for many years,so watch out buying a push button model unless it is one of the retro new models floating around
 
My push button one was in use in the 1980s so is original, was not aware that there was an internal battery: will have to look but I did use it once a few months ago when there was a power cut!

I have another push button one with * and '# keys and that uses a standard battery for its display.

Still functioning! Checked inside and there was no sign of an internal battery that I could see.

Its main purpose is for use in the garret when there is a power cut as not dependent on electricity from house - only the 50 v down the telephone wires.
