Sorry everybody if you got a message personally from me. I should have replied to the thread in the first place.

Anyhoo -

I'm doing a book celebrating the culture of CB radios across Great Britain in the 1980s.

Inspired by the amazing artwork of Eyeball cards, I aim to interview enthusiasts to get a real insight from the people that made it happen, and explore the cards themselves.

I already have a bank of cards from Suffolk, and a few interviewees, but we really need more to show the national scope of CB culture at this time. I'll be working with award-winning photographer, David Titlow - www.davidtitlow.com - who specialises is portraits (His work can be seen at the National Gallery as he's the latest recipient of the Taylor Wessing portrait prize).

Absolutely any help we could get - even looking at Eyeball cards - would be amazing. There's no pressure to talk or be quoted, but anyone who would be willing to would be fantastically helpful.

Thanks again, and my contact details are:

Very best wishes,

Hi all, In the eighties, if you had a CB Radio, what was your handle and why? Mine was "Billericay Dickie". Named after an Ian Dury song. Never even been to Billericay, and lived in Stevenage at the time I just liked the sound of it. Buzz

Annoyingly I cannot recall, but I do remember the cb, midland if i recall?

A lot of American CB rigs were made by Midland.

Until I found a list of CB / Trucker slang I could hardly understand what this was about, but it still sounded great!
