I remember cassettes for desktop computers before I saw any disc drives... I never thought to see if there'd be any sound on an audio player from one of those data cassettes....

I used to love cassettes for music, I remember local area artistes would put their own music out on that format although to me nothing seemed more real than black vinyl and we did have one group put out a 7" single via a record shop (which I still have). I also did buy pre-recorded cassette releases...Last edited by beccabear67; 6 days ago.

In primary school we had some theater company give us all a performance of The Hobbit, everyone sat on the floor for that and the action was in the center of the gymnasium and not on the stage. Other times we had a much older students' choir in and I remember their Ticket To Ride was really stirring,...

I remember an older Dansette type player with a heavy turntable on it, the whole thing looked very '50s including the metal play arm, but it did play LPs. It had one speaker (mono) but you could detach it from the player box and set it away from that as far as the wire to it went. It looked like a piece...

We had a line that went out to a tree, you could peg things to it from the back deck and pull the other line and they'd move out and create space to peg other things. Reverse the order to bring them all back in when dry. Pegs were wood and kept in a plastic pail. My grandparents had the same set up...

Here too... it had Barnaby Bear in it (which was Colargol where it originated), I loved those stop-motion films of him! I just looked Pippin up and it also had Pogle's Wood....

I'm only up to episode 52 (just past the first year mark) and the Blair family is running the shop with a post office window in it.
The theme music is by Silly Wizard.

I had/have a Countdown annual found second hand... didn't know that about the page numbering. I should dig up the one annual I have and see if they followed it on that. I picked it up for the Gerry Anderson content, the Doctor Who comics from back then I often find clunky (although the Marvel one got...

I liked most of these sorts of anthology shows, also Shadows and Dramarama: Spooky, and Nigel Kneal's Beasts.

I had a random number of Marvels so often didn't get to finish some of the continuing stories. Star Wars Weekly and others with The Hulk mostly, except Doctor Who Weekly/Monthly which I did get consecutive issues of (and specials) while it was Marvel.

One of the first sentences I learned in French was to say "My name is Hector, I am a beef (boeuf, or bull I suppose)". I wonder if there was a similar mind behind that course?Last edited by beccabear67; 3 weeks ago.

They've opened a 1950s town area since then I think. In nice weather they're probably busier. I think the Emmerdale set must be not so far off either (maybe see the real star, Minty the lamb?).

Beamish, anybody been?
Between Newcastle and Durham there's a park with different eras represented in separate areas, but they are all connected via vintage buses, trams and trains! You can also buy items at the confectionery, fish n' chip, pub, bakery etc. Looked like a great place from a video someone made of just one day...

We had one with a no-hinges cover like that, kind of an annoyance....
