and then one for the Radio Times. For those outside the UK the Radio Times is a weekly publication which, bvefore the arrival of satellite TV and the internet was the was British people coukld find out what was planned for radio asnd TV for the week, t had a huge distribution in its day

Of course the heading of this tread should be 12950,not 1050.

I forgot about the Yesteryear YFE18 Fire emergency Van with its overfull trailer
