Dont You Just Love It When Threads Start Off Then They Twist And Turn As They Go?

I say this with added humour :) I often see a topic that may go to 100+ but by the 100 mark, it's got nothing to do with the OP which is often quite funny :0)))

I bet this one ends up political even haha
Good morning by the way

[Bobbisox1]

Arh Gulliver you remember Uncle Mac Children's favourites , happy memories of a lovely childhood

[Jackdaw33]

The pianist on Children's Hour was Violet Carson, better known as Ena Sharples.

[Bobbisox1]

She was also the pianist with Wilfred Pickles

[shoota]

Had they invented telly when you were a kid Bobbs?

[choux]

With 2 free references to Mr Pickles!

[Bobbisox1]

Only just Shoota I was lucky my Dad was a radio/tv engineer so we were first in our street to have tv :0)

[shoota]

We didn't get one until 1970 when my grandad gave us his old B&W one.

[Bobbisox1]

I think it was around 1950 for us as I remember watching the Queens Coronation on a tiny screen , in fact half the street were in our house lol

[ladybirder]

Emmie, what do you mean when you say about Naomi,
"she punches above her weight"?

[Peter Pedant]

// Had they invented telly when you were a kid Bobbs?//
you had to be tray reesh to have a telly after it was invented
a frenz grandmother had one - she was tray reesh
Huge cabinet and a screen the size of twenty cigarette packet

sets cost around £200 - which was between £2000-£20 000 now

there are virtually no recordings - in fact they found it easier to film the broadcast as it was broadcast

see you tube
someone stuck an aerial oudda the window and then engraved a 78 with the em wave transmissions - sound was somewhere else - and a crazed tv engineer historian got sense out of it ( high kicking leddies) fiftiy years later
