ICTChris Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) I can remember the days before wheelie bins when you just chucked everything in a metal bin. We used to have ours next to the coal bunker! Edited January 11, 2023 by ICTChris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were two switches - one was an on/off switch and the other was a stand by switch - which you pulled out. If you were starting from scratch you put the on/off switch to on. Then you had to wait for the TV to warm up and a red light would go on to show it was ready. Only then could you start watching programmes It blew up in 1986 and the more modern TV (made in Haddington) that replaced it didn't need to warm up Edited January 11, 2023 by tamthebam 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Rose tinted glasses I think.

Not so much a saying but, if you were lucky enough to have 2 TVs in the house, the second was always a black and white portable with a circular internal aerial stuck in the back. The original B&W TV's were 405 lines, when 625 lines came out it was the equivalent of SD/HD. If you had 625 lines you were a posh b*****d. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
