Topic: Thousands shun colour television

[Simon]

What do you do, hide inside it?  

[Clive]

Where's the binoculars, Clive?

We use one of those plastic magnifiers over the front of it Rik.  Don't you remember them?   

[Simon]

We had a black and white TV, and we got a plastic 'filter' that hung over the front of the screen, with three colours.  Blue at the top, orange in the middle and green at the bottom.  It was supposed to simulate colour, but was only ever any good for horse racing.

The 70s were simply brilliant! 

[Rik]

They were that, I met Sue.

[Simon]

I met music. 

[Rik]

I bet music doesn't cook for you, though.

[Simon]

Does she sing for you though? 

[Simon]

Sorry, she = Sue.

[Rik]

I prefer her not to.

[Simon]

I'm sure the feeling is mutual. 

[Rik]

Sue likes it when I sing, as it's a sign I'm happy. It helps, of course, that she is tone deaf.
