British Smolenyaks?

Not quite, but how cool is this? I don't have a drop of British blood (that I know of, anyway), but I've been anxiously awaiting the release of the rest of Ancestry.com's British 1880-1984 phone book collection, so I was delighted to see the addition of almost 85 million names. Why? Because we lived there when I was a kid, so I was pretty darn sure there would be an entry for my family -- and sure enough! There we are at 6 Epsom Close in Camberley, Surrey, England. This was back in the days before we were all glued to our phones 24/7, so I wasn't even aware that we had a 5-digit number. Does that give me "When I was your age . . ." rights??
