We didn't have a TV until I was Eight.... we got one to watch the Coronation and to be the FIRST in our road to have one .. Everyone piled in to watch the small screen with a Large Magnifying Glass over the top to make the screen look bigger . I fell asleep as I can remember the whole procedure of crowning the Queen lengthy and incomprehensible. I was impressed with the crown and clothes though
When I was small I used to "Listen with Mother" on the radio ( Or Wireless as we called it then) with my Grandma
Even at eight I enjoyed Muffin The Mule and The Flowerpot men ....we were still children and very easily entertained in those days
