Merthyr Imp 729 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 #26 - I think the details for 'It's Ragtime!' at 10pm would be worded differently were the programme to be shown today! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,582 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Wasn't sure where to put this picture so I suppose here is good enough, it's a picture I took last week at the National Space Center in Leicester, it is a mock up of a typical living room at the time of the moon landings in 1969, do you recognise any of the decoration or furniture and fittings Rog 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plantfit 7,582 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Notice the desk lamp on the left side, it wouldn't look amiss today,and inside the radiogram was the Beatle Sgt Peppers LP, the coffee table in the foreground was chrome frame with ceramic tiles on top, inside the sideboard was a few Radio times and knitting patterns Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue B 48 1,226 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Orange and brown colours a must have in the 60s, a radiogram in the front room and a sideboard just like that in the dining room. We had taste in them days. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,278 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Ignoring the modern additions of the surveillance camera and the smoke alarm, the polystyrene "acoustic" tiles and the circular flouro' tube light and its harsh white light. Is that a Sparklets soda syphon on the end of sideboard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 It certainly looks like it Oz. God, it looks horrendous. At least we've progressed somewhat in the interior design business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,278 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 I'm deeply offended Fly, we've still got one somewhere, stainless steel, it was a wedding present. You can still get the little bulbs of gas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Sorry Oz, it'll be vintage soon, and increase in value. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,278 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I'll wait with baited breath. I cannot believe there is a mock up of a late 60's early seventies living room without one of these. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,278 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Now I'm remembering prawn cocktails, little sausages on a stick or cheese and pineapple on sticks. Or a dining room without one of these, apparently they are making a comeback. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 On a similar subject, I posted this a while ago in another thread; a couple from Picture the Past showing a 1970's house. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
