For me, the tone was a bit ominous because we were given the date at the start of each episode as a reminder that war was coming closer and closer. That added a sense of desperation to the normal adolescent social fumbling.

Given how prohibitively expensive that show was in terms of "aging" the background, I wouldn't have expected them to eliminate the cables just for a photo, although they could possibly have been edited out.

Seymour's car was a three-wheeler. In addition to his persistence, that was the stuck-up young woman's objection to him.

Who is the man in the shades, partly visible at the back, third from the left? Looks like an attempt at a photobomb.

To answer the original question, no, I don't miss the old TV sets. Now, for a lower price you can buy a set that will do much more.

Our first TV, ~1951, was a big square box with just a few knobs. Connected to an antenna on the roof. We lived in a rather narrow valley so picked up only one channel, WSYR out of Syracuse NY. The program selection was quite tame, except that my much younger sister recalls watching the movie The...

Every time I see that road on a map I wonder what about the history behind the name. Was it similar to the Preemption Line (and the associated road) that divided the aboriginal lands of western New York State awarded to New York from those awarded to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by the...

Before spend days hunting through the Google map of Balby, where was this photo taken? It looks as though it ought to be an alley somewhere near Lister Avenue, but I can't place it.

Yes, she was. Can't remember where I read it, though. ... I don't recall having seen any of Barry's family!

It was a drop-head Alvis (whatever that was). I'm just quoting what I heard without understanding a word of it. Wesley was working on Howard's van near the beginning of Big Day At Dream Acres.

Perhaps he'll have a couple of eggs, instead.

And the village itself is highly photogenic. I've visited it during a photography holiday based at the HF House in Sedbergh, Thorns Hall.

Some people's taste is all in their mouths!

Don't feel left out. Neither have I.

I worked for four or five years as process control programmer (but mostly computer hardware specialist) in a factory making glass tubing. Because the PDP-8 computers were old and prone to failure, I was on call 24/7/365. Back then phone service was all land-lines, so if I wasn't at home when the...

Kidneys from which animal? What pre-prep are they given before adding them to the dish?

For real! Been there, done that.

A service that you have to travel to a much larger town to access!

And with a bank!

Lucky you, to have that level of access! Here in the States, it all has to be imported, and now we're paying a fairly high tariff in addition to the base price and shipping cost.
