What did you do today?

Cheers. I remember the house sale thing - didn't a lorry twat it and cause huge problems with an impending sale plan?

Ahh now you mention Watford I remember him. Didn't a truck take a wall out at some point?


Ahh great minds Mercrocker

That’s right, I think the insurance assessor had just been to have a look at the damage (a great big hole in the wall of his house iirc) when he disappeared from AS.

I made a radio out of some crap I had laying about.

Reminds me of a crystal radio kit I had as a kid.

Glad to see AM has improved* since my early 80's days of rented base Impalas, Volares and Dodge Tradesmans.

Identical principle, except instead of the crystal as the detector diode, the poor connection between the blued blade and pencil acts the same way.

The sound of that radio brings back memories. Does it have rds?
I had a John Player Special f1 car that was a radio and took square 9v batteries.

I spent many nights listening to it in bed. It used to eat the batteries though.
