jackson 301 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Mudgie, aren't I silly? Re Billy Cotton; I was forgetting he had a radio show. 'Wakey, Wakey', how could I forget that rousing opening? Makes no difference though, the radio show was as boring as the TV one! Or perhaps you were a fan?

plantfit 7,640 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Just loved radio Luxembourg, 208 on the medium wave I think, listened to it every night in the mid to late sixties, even went to sleep leaving the radio on all night, wake up in the morning to the sound of "Hissing" coming from the radio, a sign of it wanting some new batteries, PP9 if I remember right, the memories come flooding back now, slow summer walks around Clifton village, three Woodbines from the village shop and a steady walk back to the top of Farnborough road, kiss my girlfriend good night and spend the rest of the night with the radio pressed against my ear, Oh happy day's Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Memories of long distance driving overnight...last memory of Luxembourg was listening to 'If I had a Hammer' Trini Lopez...parked up in Bristol '63 waiting for a store to open early morning. And of course Horace Batchelors Pools...in Keynsham...spelt "K E Y N S H A M" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
