Keith Houchen Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I've always thought the standard mobile phone formation is 5-3-3. If I try to say my number in anything but 5-3-3 I struggle to do it. Someone I know always does it in something like 4-2-3-2 and it always fried my brain. I reckon it was like when Hungary smashed England at Wembley, I couldn't get my head round the formation. I reckon it's the same reason I can't play Jazz, my brain can't compute the freeform structure It is 5-3-3 isn't it? Have you any formations in your life that are sacrosanct?

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted August 28, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 3-3-2-3. Five at the back seems like too much of a mouthful for me. It's weird isn't it? Trying to say it in anything other than your usual formation just fucks with your brain. I can't do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 28, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 Yep - it's 5-3-3 for me too. For landline numbers (what were that all about, eh?), it's 3-4, although with London's weird system, can be 4-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members gmoney Posted August 28, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 I go 3-3-3-2. With this number anyway. I might change it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 28, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 28, 2018 It's 5-3-3. Always. Anything other than that is fucking weird. London phone numbers (and Birmingham & Manchester, too) should shoulder the blame for anyone veering away from this, with their stupid 4 digit area codes.
