Default Re: Childhood memories of radios.

Like Albert (Viewmaster), I remember taking the spare accumulator to the local garage to get it recharged in the 1950s & 60s. My Father, whose name coincidentally was also Albert, also smoked Woodbines, but they were a bit more than 2d for 5 by then! 'electronicskip', like most of us I used to listen to '208', plus AFN and Irish Radio.
