Hello there 'stumped'
You have a couple of years on me so some of those radio 'shows' I missed out on -
my dad got our first telly in the early 50s (a 9 inch screen which he later improved to 12 inch by fitting a custom made magnifying glass over the screen!) but your right about the power of imagination - not just the radio but books (my first 'read' was White Fang by Jack London when I was about 7 years old and of all the books that I have read there is not a single movie that comes anywhere near the reality that my mind created - Lord of the Rings??? - for me; miles off the mark!! --- and of course the weekly comics -
mine was the Eagle, my brother the Dandy and my younger sister - Bunty.
Do I 'smell' another thread on its way??
nice to 'chat' with you
Martin
