I wish we had a video recorder then we could record it and watch it in the morning! I am sure many playground discussions the day after The Young Ones just consisted of us all quoting the previous night’s episode. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure many playground discussions the day after The Young Ones just consisted of us all quoting the previous night’s episode. Come the 90s and we had 2 video recorders. One for upstairs and one for the living room. I learned how to rig them up together to make copies of movies. Which reminds me: Putting sellotape over the tab so that you can record on a video tape, or breaking the plastic tab off if it is one you want to keep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop the bus, I want a wee wee Stop the bus I want a wee wee Stop the bus I want a wee wee A wee wee.... Complete as you remember it being in your part of the country. 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullerene Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 2 hours ago, Dunfermline Don said: TV finishing around 11pm - midnight and then being left with a wee white dot on the screen, there was no breakfast TV either. Pubs being shut on a Sunday and having to go to a Hotel Bar for a drink, if they had a satellite dish you could watch the live English game via Borders TV. Standing outside Radio Rentals on a Saturday afternoon to get the football results. 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also remember the religious spot every night ‘Late Call’ which was the inspiration for the Rev I M Jolly. Thankfully we had all night TV by the time I was working overnight in Casinos or I would have had to talk to the other staff in the staff room on my breaks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first memory of ice cream cones is eating square cones like the Cornet pictured here. I think they only lasted a few years in the 70s but such was the impression on the mind of Young Bam that I still regard those new fangled round cones with suspicion... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
