SWMBO remembers this in Ull (kingston upon) she tells me that when the shilling ran out in the meter the picture went off but the sound stayed on!Nice TV Anna.
Who remembers Rediffusion cable TV, the box below was on the side of the Livingroom window and you selected the channel you wanted to watch using it as there were no channel buttons on the TV set.

Ha we didnt have metatarsels in them days
We used to spend the bus fare home at lunchtime on sweets then after school climb over the fence at the corona depot on douglas rd, grab an empty or 2 from a crate and get the deposit back from the nearest shop and get the bus home, could have ended up in borstal lolGoing round the building sites in the evening collecting the empty corona pop bottles to return to the shop.
Remember when if you drove a Skoda people would laugh at you - (Skip to 1:00 to cut out all the ****)
did you hear about the chap who made love to a princess?View attachment 44381
My first company car the Princess, I know it's **** but I worked for Leyland Truck and Bus. I think mine was more chocolate coloured.
My lawn mower's got one. And my strimmer, too.Most of my early cars had one.
I was doing 109 in my green GL
I still have my sliderule "British Thornton" and remember well the log tables.At secondary school having a slide rule. Before that we had log books (logarithms)
I remember my dad changing our aerial wire to get 625 lines on the telly instead of 405 lines. The difference was like normal telly to 4K today.
I was only a tiddler at the time so it might be a false memory but I think it was so we could receive bbc2.
What I do remember is I was amazed how thick the aerial wire was compared to the old one.
It might have been able to do 109 but they were not popular for obvious reasons -
