Drat! I prefer Brass Bass (or Bass Saxophone) and Banjo to guitar and Bull-fiddle. oh you "moderns"!

To quote Squire Toad: " I must have a motorcar!"

"OPERATOR!" or "CENTRAL?" ?

Are you calling me "modern?" I'm rather old-fashioned. :p

Operator! I prefer talking to a human.

& didn't Toad wreck his motorcar?

Pan & Scan or Letterbox?

"Central?" and "Operator!" mean the same thing. The term "Operator?" took over from the older "Hello, Central?" in the years just before the Great War in much of the US, with "Central" remaining the favored call in some country districts.

Well, yes.

By my lights you are indeed a "modern" if you like that new-fangled "Swing" music.
