Re: End of an era.
Mention of Ramsbottom triggers a memory of an advert in 1970s electronics mags of an advert for aerial pre-amps from a firm in that town. Bridge Street? I bought one, saving up pocket money and buying postal orders. They worked well, and Gran was delighted to be able to watch West regional news instead of Welsh.
I imagine they might have been the kind of TV dealer/repairer we've been discussing here.
