Re: What did you watch when you was a nipper?
I'll do that jaysay--
just a mention on nostalgia - we used to have a 'pop' wagon that came round every friday - I think it was 'stantons' - sold dandelion and burdoch as well as sarsperilla in stone jars with a stopper on the side (my dad used the empties as hot water bottles in winter!) -accy based? on thursdays the knife sharpener (on bike) wednesday's the rag and bone man. what happened to those wooden sticks of licquorice that you had to chew like mad until you finished up with a wad of pulp?? yarns of wool?? mother had us holding arms outstretched with yarn between thumb and fingers so she could roll into a ball!! most went on darning our socks!! Bonfire nights and 'wooding'-- aah. |

I was given the PC49 Album as a present for my 10th birthday way back in 1951. Wish I'd kept it.

There was another western series starring Steve McQueen as 'The Rifleman'. Then Hugh O'Brien in the long running 'Wyatt Earp' series. I just loved the TV Westerns. Far superior to the sci-fi rubbish that kids are into today. But then again, that's just my opinion. It's probably more in tune with what's prevalent at the time.
