What made me feel good yesterday: I came home in the pouring rain, carrying a large, heavy, awkward box, which had become wet and slippery. (Public transport, so had had a walk in the rain, to get to the bus stop.) 
When I reached the front door, I found it was held open for me, by the post man.
"Are you all right?" he asked.
He then took the box off me, and carried it all the way to my (fourth floor) front door. Eschewing the lift, but hopping up the stairs 'to keep fit.'

Gentlemen do still exist: they drive small red vans!

Have a look at

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-29647931

and find out how things have changed in the entertainment world.

Can't seem to find out what was on TV when I was born, I think John Logie Baird was just putting the final tweaks to his invention .

Radio was fascinating though, a talk on the cultivation of mushrooms, a programme of Gramophone records, and to end the day a play, The Importance Of Being Earnest with some up and coming young actor John Geilgud, then bed at 11.05.

Those were the days

The benefit of very little TV was the fact that you weren't bombarded with monotonous repetitions of dancing, baking, antiques, useless wannabees either trying to gain fame or be apprentices to some meglomaniacal millionaire.

Were you a Dick Barton fan and did you revel in the crazy world of the Goons?

No. For me it was 'Journey Into Space'.

Excellent link Abers - the TV was boring even back when I first appeared in the world.

BTW, JLB's TV system was a dead end - Philo Farnsworth invented the TV system we all know and *love*

I haven't watched more than four hours TV, since the beginning of April. Can't say I miss it.

And yes, when I was a child, the radio was the in thing. I remember the Dutch version of an English detective series, was very popular. Paul Vlaanderen was the detective's name; Paul Temple was the original I think.
