Where did you keep your landline in your childhood home?

[Meaty]

On a table By the couch

[TubThumper]

At the bottom of the stairs, by the front door. We had a dedicated “telephone seat” too, that had a cushion for the seat — and a compartment for the Yellow Pages and the Thompson Local.

In the hallway, fitted on the wall.

The telephone was also in the hallway at the bottom of the stairs - I suppose it was a convenient position to have it in in case one gets an urgent phone call and need to rush out straight away.
