Oh god what would he make of me? When I was your age I didn't have colour TV, or an automatic washing machine, or a freezer. I had a £5 licence for my TV and radio and a 7/6d one for my dog. I had only flown as far as the Isle of Man and I'd been to France - by ferry and train. We had a car that broke down regularly at traffic lights and you had to know hand-signals to pass the driving test. Nobody wore seat-belts and you had to be very drunk not to be fit to drive.
