Childrens' hour not really............Tommy Handley, Wilfred Pickles yes + the Goons, Workers' playtime, all on the bbc light programme as was!!
V day yes and the previous day my sister and I , living up in Thurso at the time, were out in the town centre waving flags until we were told off by some Warden who chased us off home for jumping the gun with our Celebrations.
Also before then tuning in through crackles and whistles on short wave to the LEIPZIG Station on the wireless to listen to what Lord Haw Haw had to say.
I also remember that when the 'air raid' siren sounded whilst at school we had to crawl under our desks and stay there till the 'All clear' siren went. Often thought we didn't stand much chance if a bomb ever hit the school.
Any more pre war memories Oldies ? Ration books etc.
Oh dear strayed off topic again................what is the topic here anyway..............I've forgotten !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
