VE Day pictures

[Adriana]

Just put up a few photos on my diary page.

Mike will be putting up some more on the Out and About page later - apparently his laptop has turned up its toes

[Richard]

He's only had the thing for 3 days!

[Adriana]

Mike has certainly been burning the candle at both ends, catching up.

The VE day Out and About photos are now up.

We didn't have these problems in the good old days when a wireless had wires

[Adriana]

Mind you, have you ever tried looking at pictures on a radiogram?

[Kojak]

We didn't need pictures, Adriana, we were too busy admiring the mahogany veneer , the lid that slowly closed of it's own accord and the fact that it could play 8 records automatically. - And that was without listening to "Round the Horne" and "Forces Favourites" on a Sunday

Go back to the home page, David, look down the right hand side and click on the "latest News and Weather" link

They were still playing excerpts from 'Round the Horne' on the SABC when I left in 89...

And all of us in the Classics Department seminar room could recite the Dead Parrot sketch... ops:

Ah, what innocent fun we used to have

[Kojak]

Innocent was the word, Adriana. I probably didn't understand half the double-entendres on "Round the Horne". And when television came along, my mother could hit the "Off" button before the word "sex" had even appeared on the actor's lips!

[Adriana]

In films like 'Mrs Miniver' married couples slept in twin beds...and wore pyjamas/nightgowns

[Kojak]

Speaking from experience, I think the pyjamas were more to do with the fact that there was no central heating, and no heating at all in the bedroom unless you were ill. - Bed time in the north east was rather chilly
