Default Gas

I have a battered Rollei SL66 used by British Gas which was used to photograph their holes in the road. If I invented a provenence and associated it with Bernard Cribbins I may be onto a winner

I remember listening to that record on the radio while cycling. How??? Well no ipod or even Walkman then. My mate had a kind of open satchel slung over his back which held the not insubstantial radio. No tiny radios then either. With the volume high enough we could both hear it. Not a lot of other traffic late in the evening and riding two abreast was the norm anyway.

When we wanted to change stations or volume I'd reach across and fiddle with the controls. High tech stuff

Oh and all of this while I was Anquetil (I was just a little older after all and he was Poulidor).

Life was simpler then

Mike

It is funny you should say that but a much older cousin of mine was into wireless and actually made a cat's whisker set in the early 50s. Old hat even then of course but he had great fun making it. I was just about old enough to be allowed an attempt at tuning it in. In those days you actually had to do things to make anything work

I suspect that Ansel Adams was given a number of cameras later in his career in the hope that his use would promote them. I'm not surprised that nobody wanted this one, even at a tenth of the price.
