The Oldies Thread

Remember David Cassidy anyone?
Me & my best friend had pictures of him all over our bedroom walls.
Seeing that Alan Osmond of The Osmonds has died is so sad as he Michael Jackson (Jackson 5) & David are all gone now, huge
'pop stars' in their day.
 
Remember when it was impossible to buy a colour TV - People used to stand outside & watch tv programmes - always on the rental in most families - we had one were you put coins in & the rental guy would call to empty the box on the TV take the rent & give you the excess back - sounded good , but it was disastrous if the box filled before he was due = no TV to watch :mad: -

….rented our first Colour telly for Sunderland v Leeds FA Cup Final.

Never had coin slots, Ernie Carr had a shop on Boaler St (behind the Grafton) and came to the house weekly to collect the TV rent. Thinking of it, he must’ve been loaded.
