We would wake up to listen to them on our Crystal Sets. No T.V. in those days and the &#039;Radio&#039; was a cabinet piece in the &#039;lounge-room&#039; where we were not permitted unless we had guests, so the use of it was firmly controlled by Father.</p><p><br /></p><p>Me (and the unlucky Lady)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]857173[/ATTACH]</p><p>My wife only has one &#039;flaw&#039;.
