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.

That was it; "People and Places" .... followed by Coronation Street on ??Tuesdays and Thursdays?? Ena Sharples and Minnie Caldwell rule

And Len Fairclough ... I gotta quit this eh.

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.

I was at the Youth Club in St Mary's Centre in Lock Street when I heard about Kennedy's assasination
