Van Doonican, Lonnie Donergan, Frank Ifield, Morcambe & Wise, Tony Hancock, Ruby Murray (I don't think the one on this site). The real one drank herself to death, Come Dancing, the early Shirley Bassey, Harry Secombe, The Goon Show and God knows how many others.
The B button on the phonebox was to get your money back if there was no reply or a busy signal. If someone answered you pressed the A button co connect.

Re: Who remembers...........
Do you or me really want to do this?
I remember gas street lights. A man came along just before dusk. He wore a uniform and had a long pole with a brass gizmo at one end. One part of the gizmo had a flame and the other a hook device. He inserted the pole into a glass trapdoor in the lamp, with the hook device switched on the gas and with the flame lit it.
At dawn he came back and reversed the procedure. (The Old Lamplighter of Long, Long Ago).
There's lots more but I'll try to contain myself.

I remember the rotating power cuts of the seventies. Doing homework by candle-light! Thanks Mr. Heath!
