Dont leave children alone in the house (even for short time)...oh my god...really? In 1981 I started my primary education,school started ať 7.30 a.m. and finished ať 1.00p.m.-1st grade.Parents used to work between 6.30a.m. and 3.00p.m., and usually came home round 4.00/4.30 p.m...so we got up ať 6.30 washed ,had prepared breakfast and went to school (just having key on the neck)...sometimes parents left some money and we as kids had to go to buy fresh bread,butter,milk and sweet poppy-seeds rolls...That was something regarding learning responsibility 😉

1:30 That’s a different version of _God save the Queen_ than the one they usually play…

[@stickytapenrust6869]

Sounds like the slow version they sometimes played in the late 70s and early 80s.

[@stickytapenrust6869]

@Christopher Williams Is there some kind of official record that it wasn’t working on this occasion or is that just an assumption based on the fact they didn’t play the usual version of GSTQ?

[@christopherwilliams2093]

@@stickytapenrust6869 The BBC must have kept both versions for if there was a technical problem with one of them; however we all know that BBC1 couldn't play it on Boxing Day 1990.

Don't like 24h TV it's just a dead zone for teleshopping, gambling, and other rubbish.
