You forgot to mention that it finished at 11pm, they played the national anthem and then it went to a white dot.

All those drunken patriots snoring anyway to GSTQ.

Linked to the late night shutdown, I liked the opening medley of music at the start of STV broadcasting in the morning.

After sitting singing this trying to think what I (we) used to sing I've remembered and I don't want to because it's racist.

Although it was I need a weewee rather than want, I remember that.

Is it really bad that I'm curious as to what is was?

‘Shit - flooded the engine, too much choke’.

I still say 'bit more choke and she'd have started' after anyone cuts loose with an arseslapper of a fart to blank looks 99% of the time.

Anyway, 'to you,to me,to you'

There must be a shit load of phrases dropped from use due to either direct homophobia/misogyny/racism or just sounding a bit dodgy that would outright confuse people now,  the layers of bigotry you would need to peel back to explain them would take a while

Yes, that's the elephant in the woodpile.

Getting told to look it up in the yellow pages if you wanted a business' phone number. Also eagerly awaiting the new phone book dropping through the letterbox to see if your family's name and address was still in it! 

Given 10p and told to go and get a bag of sweets from the half penny tray at the local newsagent.

Prank calling people with silly names was a good laugh although in retrospect i feel sorry for the Reverend Dick.
