Also, the cowboy singing "Three wheels on my wagon, but I'm still rolling along, those Cherokees are after me, they throw flaming spears, that burn my ears, but I'm singing a haaaaaappy song." Accompanined by either a cartoon, or an animated puppet film, or possibly just a series of pictures - I can't remember, but I can still sing the whole song.
The older I get, the better I was.

Going back to Ally Pally and its signal I can remember in the days before the M1, when you had to use A Roads going south, that you always knew when you were on the outskirts of Bimingham because you passed the TV Mast at Sutton Coldfield. I'm pretty sure that in those distant days before Emley Moor we received our pictures from Holme Moss. Only BBC1 in those far off days.

I couldn't disagree with you more, I hardly watch the T.V, never mind the B.B.C, It actually angers me immensely having to pay that whopping cost for something I don't use. I'd happily do a 'pay per view' as it should be, the Beep would be more than welcome to my £2.50 a year air time viewing. Let them do as the rest do and get a good business head on. Eastenders!!!...PAH I'm glad you don't spend much time watching TV, Phil, otherwise we wouldn't be able to enjoy as many of your splendid pictures.But the Beeb provides far more than just TV. If it had to rely on commercial advertising it would soon be reduced to providing the lowest common denominator just like the other channels. I agree with you entirely about some of its output, but it still leads the world for the quality of most of it. I don't like paying tax to fund welfare payments to people who've never contributed, but neither would I wish anyone to be destitute.
