Great to see the old phone number preceded by the district (Victoria being Small Heath). Anyone answering the phone would probably say "Victoria 4681" . The same would have been for Shirley eg "Shirley 1234"
Smart Alec callers (Smart Alec - is that an old Brummie expression?) would often reply "Hello Victoria" or "Hello Shirley"!
