I had an after school job in a television rental shop , it was a Friday afternoon/tea time and the shop became packed with folks who came in paying their weekly 7/6d and didn't want to leave.

(wonder how many rent their televisions these days ;) )

I remember my dad and I were watching the programme and I said, "They're good." My dad, a former dance-band drummer, said it was a pity the drummer (Ringo) didn't know how to hold his sticks properly. :D

Remember the first tv appearance of the Beatles on Jimmy Saville's show ... and everyone who was alive at the time seems to remember what they were doing when they heard the news of Kennedy's assasination ... I was playing snooker at the Con Club in Accy when is saw it on the tv ... Black and white of course. And I was underage at the time. Beer tasted better when you were under age.
