TV was as bad then as it is now. We all say it's gone down hill, but really you had to pick out the good bits as you do now. It was all so new then and we were a bit beguiled by it I guess.

Can't beat the radio can you .
 
Beat the Radio

8) Oh Diana, Oh yes I can :)

Every morning I beat my radio :twisted:

its one of them Radio-Alarm thingies & It just goes beserk Every Morning
I hate it & beat the ssshh sheer hell outa it for "Jolly " music wake up Urrgh
Ok once I am up, then I fix it again, its a right state now, but still works,
Cuppa tea,,,,then yes,, prefer Radio to T V (But Not so Eeeeearly) :oops:
 
I don't have that problem John, nothing but a cup of coffee placed on my bedside table wakes me. :wink:
 
WRONG ANSWER?..HAVE A CABBAGE.

What about 'DOUBLE OR DROP' with Ammon? Andrews, kids had to stand there ages holding a load of stuff, if they got a answer wrong they also had to hold a cabbage. If they tried that these days some do gooder would have it stopped saying its cruel to children.

If a kid dropped something he/she had to walk off in shame.
