I'm 0-3...possibly 3-6. I remember the BBC testcard thing with the girl with the long dark hair. Would that be what it means?

I'm on the ancient list myself I'm afraid'.

I suppose the hair colour depended on the TV screen you had. There were light screens and dark screens. The darker screens where supposed to give you a clearer sharper picture. LOL ! Not that I noticed.

The older TV screens were 12 inch but our first one was 17 inches and we thought we were the bees knees.

I remember it all! But I cannot remember what I had for dinner yesterday!!

They didn't tell me I could have begged for a cork popgun!! Devious people the grown ups! but I did want a 'spud gun' but no,'you'll take someones eye out with that????? I only wanted one because all the boys had one and they said I could join their 'gang' if I was armed
always show interest in boys hobbies, it has served me well . I got all the answers in the list, oh dear

all of the above I'm afraid. But home delivered milk in glass bottles ????? I still get that.
