Sunday nights was always the chart rundown in the 70s/80s,so I was always glued to the radio on those nights. Saturday night was bath night

didnt they replace the presenters with a voice over at one time? thats what ruined it for me.

Re: what did we do on a sunday evenings as kids

It was the presenters that ruined it!!
I didn't mind the Radio 1 lot doing it,but when they started using other people and guest presenters it was rubbish.I haven't even heard of the people who were presenting it recently.

Ours was Bath & sandwiches too, not at the same time I hasten to add. We generally had a tin of fruit cocktail with either carnation milk or if we were really lucky Angel Delight

Ours was bath and nails cut ( i hated that) then we'd have sandwhiches from left over meat from the sunday roast, and would sit watching Songs Of Praise, or one of the children's classics like Little Lord Fontelroy(sp?) ,the Phoneix and The Ashes or The Prince and The Pauper.

Re: what did we do on a sunday evenings as kids

Sunday night was my least favourite of the week. When I was very small, I hated the fact that my mum wasn't home for my bedtime (she went to church). From the age of about 12, I got dragged into the church routine myself, and I was always bored to tears, and resentful of spending the last few hours of my weekend doing something that didn't interest me - and on top of that I felt guilty that I didn't believe in what I was hearing, and guilty that I didn't like going...

There were also far too many Sundays spent frantically finishing homework by torchlight after I went to bed, because I hadn't done it earlier in the weekend.

Sundays for me were bath and charts, usually the taping of my favorite tunes, nowadays its my kids baths and Heartbeat......

I'm from a Roman Catholic Household too. Going back to Junior School days - Used to have sandwiches and tea, then bath night for school next day, Me mam used to warm our pyjamas infront of the fire (this was before central heating). Then we;d watch Last of the summer wine, and antiques road show,and I think Howards way used to be on. I'd get sent to bed first and be allowed to read for half an hour (usually half 7 or 8).

When I got to secondary school, it was bath,Jeeves and Wooster then Londons Burning, Spitting Image or Hale and Pace and bed.

oooh just had a thought, did thays life used to be on on sundays or was it fridays can't remember, but i was allowed to watch that when got older.
