You could say I was lucky to be born just in time colour sets first started to apear. My parents were the first on the street to have one after dad bought one. I remember my mum saying some years later, dad payed what was a small fortune as it would only get one bloody channel in colour can’t remember which. Anyway mum told me it stood in the parlour, which was a room me or my brother were never allowed in exept for special occasions.
When the first LCD flatscreen TV’s come out, dad went out and bought a 15″ portable, which a remember cost £999. Anyway I guess that was the 2nd rollocking he had off mum lol.
