For his "infra draw method" on Radio Luxembourg 208, he spelt it out and spelt it again and again but presumably being a person from Somerset, you of all people should know that it was KEYNSHAM, spelt K-E-Y-N-S-H-A-M, Keynsham Bristol.
I must get out more.
For my own part, all I can add to Ted's incisive list (I used to drive to LR in a 1960 Cresta PA) is the sale of Durex in the barber's shop. "Something for the weekend sir?"
PS I remember that Jimmy Sovile show, The Teen and Twenty Disc Club
PPS - Janice Nicholls was on Thank Your Lucky Stars (I'll give it foive)
Yes, going out now

My memory isn't as good as I thought although it was my spell checker that put the extra e in Keynsham and stupidly I believed it..
You are right about Janice although I preferred Juke Box Jury and her catch phrase grated after a few hearings.
I used to get a lift in a Wolsey 4/44 to LR.

Thick plastic Wembley Trophy footballs. Old real leather footballs Mass bundles in the school playgrounds When international football was more entertaining than international rugby. When football commentators commentated and not made needless opinions. The Old Grey Whistle Test Sight and Sound in concert Robert Dougall reading the BBC news. The BBC test card Cars that could be started with a crank handle. No, I'm not old enough to remember Model T Fords and the like, but I'm talking Moggy Minors, Wolsley's etc. Daktari
There aint half been some clever bastards.

Qpr winning football matches
Saturday morning job helping the milkman. 10/- for a 207 to the Bush, a program, some sweets from the corner shop in Bloemfontein getting into the kids enclosure and still having some left after the bus home. Swapping ends at half time so you could be at the end Rangers were going to score. Harrington jackets turned inside out. Queer bashing. Hacking about in a field with an old motorbike that "just needs the points adjusting" Sherbet Fountains. Pub, late night movie, Heston Services (round the back entrance) and off down the coast on a Saturday night. LSD for 50p. Loon pants and Afghan coats. Pubes.
The grass is always greener.
