Oh the depressing sound of the national anthem at the end of the disco. 

They played the national anthem at chucking out time... in a club ?!!

Where did you go clubbing - Sandhurst ?

I remember patiently waiting through eighteen pages on ceefax, trying to find out what was on at the local cinema.

They definitely used to do it in a club in the west of Ireland. I'm sure I witnessed it in a few over here too.

One of my early TV memories was that the picture on our TV use to drift slowly out of tune (yes kids, you used to have to manually tune a TV).  My dad would then come along, whack the TV on one side and the picture would appear again like magic.

Oh, and my mum still calls the remote a "clicker" as the above TV had a one button remote which just used to cycle through the 3 (maybe 4) channels with a click.  Thems were the days!!!
