Re: I remember when.................
Our bath night was Friday night, the water was heated by a back boiler from the coal fire so what ever the weather we had to have a coal fire burning to heat the water. I was third to youngest of seven kids and the line to jump in clean yourself and jump out meant that the water was cold and dirty for who ever was last in line.

Re: I remember when.................
I remember when Monty Python was a weekly, first run show on TV! It's hard to imagine it now, having seen/heard the sketches hundreds of times, but there was a time when they were brand new. I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as when seeing some of those sketches for the first time. Imagine seeing the 'Spanish Inquisition' sketch for the first time, not knowing what was to come ... 'Trubble up' Mill ... ... Nobody expects ... ' ...

Re: I remember when.................
You walked up to the telly, pressed on, selected from 1, 2 or 3, sat down and watched.
Having spent the day packing for a house move I decided to sit down with a cuppa before starting the tea.
I hardly ever watch telly but I thought I'd have a look, what am I faced with...........
1 Telly, cant find a single button on it.
5 Boxes of various shapes and sizes underneath, flashing like Nassa Mission Control.
3 Remotes.
45 minutes later I'm sitting here with a blank screen, I had some sound for 2 minutes, and a picture of a sunflower for a nanosecond.
Right rant over I'm off to cook the tea.
