So who used to sit at home on a Sunday listening to the top 40 on the radio then having sandwiches & cake for tea?

Who used to record from the radio? Me & my sister did!

Great days

I used to record the top 40. Also I used to cut the neighbours lawns to buy any new singles that were out. Great days.

Great days

We had cockles rarely & had to get the out with a pin!

Banana sandwich

Spam or corned beef, tinned ham was a treat

Mind you, most of the people presenting the top 40 and a fair amount of those singing on it turned out to pervy wrongens. Maybe not such great days?...

Who had a record player where you loaded up 5/6 singles on top of each other & they used to drop down? It had a lid & carry handle. Mine was blue

I was usually out. Pillocking about in the woods, or away to Keston Ponds fishing, or just generally up to some sort of mischief.

Had a twin cassette deck. Would record the top 40 then go through and edit out the crap 🙂 Simpler days.

Positively rich you were...

Bit older than me, that's why you were out causing mayhem

I loved keston ponds. Remember going there after the hurricane in 87 to play on all the fallen trees! My first record player was a massive wooden unit about the size of a side board. Had a record deck, a cassette and a radio. It was given to me by a neighbour and I thought it was the nuts. Took up half my bedroom.
