I'm so old, I remember "Take your pick" hosted by Michael Miles. It was in the good old days of black & white television.

I remember the t.v. had valves in it, none of your modern printed circuit boards or microchip technology.

Maybe, alpenrose. Although I already had a couple of breaks from running last year when ill. Sigh :-(

I do have three bicycles though. As I discovered earlier however, even though the injury site is less sore, jarring it is eyewateringly painful.

Aldo remember valve tvs, my dad sourced several for me when I was ill as a bairn

Welcome Linds, feel quite at home in here.

My mum used to feed the t.v.50 pence pieces so we could watch it.
For some reason me and the OH often quote "it's the quiz of the week"

Dvorak I thought between my back, knees and feet I should have gave up running before it barely got started ;-(

It's the 50+ palsy that does it, Lip Gloss. Welcome Linds!

I'm old enough to remember the Black and White Minstrels when there were in B&W (and when no-one apparently noticed the potential for offence in "blacking up").

Billy Cotton Bandshow (should that be two words?) anyone? Weekend TV is bad enough now but back then it was astoundingly awful :-(
