I seem to remember the first colour TV I saw in an ordinary house was around 1968, my next door neighbour had one, my mother got one in 1973 a 20 inch, today your not up with the times if you haven't got an HD Plazma

It only seems like yesterday (Oh God, I'm getting old). I was getting ready for my wedding (all those lists and the invitations to be sent out.) I remember my husband-to-be said, "How have they managed to get her to sing for him?" Well we all know how, now, don't we?
