LOL I bet you've never even seen a  B & W TV, have you EC?

You got me thinking now Baz. Just trying to remember if my parents had a black and white in the 1970's. Will ask my Mum.

They may have done EC, cos I don't think we got a colour TV until the late 70s

I believe that my parents rather like many others bought their first tellybox for the coronation. I'm sure that our local dept store had a colour set before 1970? They set it up and arranged a semi circle of chairs. However the only thing on offer was Tennis. I think they bought a colour set in the early seventies, but we we were married in 75 and it was a few years before we had one. Our first few were second hand B&W sets. Although we did buy one of the first Sony Betamax video recorders in the early eighties!

I know someone who until very recently had a black and white TV - he got a considerable number of checks on him to confirm he still had black and white as he only had a B&W licence.

 

We gave him an old colour telly and he's that tight - he waited for his B&W licence to expire before he begrudgingly bought a colour licence - only then did he plug it in.

 

He's dead tight but scrupulously honest too.

I can remember having one like that as a kid in the room where we weren't allowed to watch TV when Dad was sleeping, and one Christmas we had to watch The Wizard of Oz on it, I wasn't impressed, the best bit is when it turns to colour.
