My mates do not believe me about how poor we were but I did a straw poll of people born in the sixties and before and this thing about no central heating, coal fires and ice on the inside of the windows was a common theme. I wanted an Action Man for Christmas all I got was an empty box my dad told me it was an Action Man Deserter
One more point |

Earliest Christmas I can remember is 1974, I was an only child so I was a little bit spoilt, Scalextric, Subbuteo, tons of Action Man stuff, jeep, tank etc, a football game called ‘Striker’ I remember climbing the walls with excitement Christmas Eve while I was watching Morecombe and Wise.

Ah yes, Morecombe & Wise - two blokes who shared a house and a bed, and no-one even thought to wonder if they were gay...

He said Eric wasn't keen on the idea but Braben said Laurel & Hardy did the same thing and convinced him except he insisted on smoking a pipe when he was in bed because it would make him look more manly - not sure about that but it worked for him.
