Ooppps .had a few drinks and was listening to old song favorites when i suddenly remembered how i met my first love ,lol. It was through the C.B. radio. His was smokey bandit and mine was bookworm ,( don't ask,lol). My dad had i'm sure it was a binatone 40 channel one and he'd bought a walkie talkie with a rubber ariel and he wanted to know just how far it would recieve mum at home,lol.So i went on an eyeball to the tennis courts.If only they'd known as i didn't know him apart from his handle. Trying to remember what the car chashes were called,no it was a fox hunt.Where someone hid and made calls and they were tracked down. Was it channel 18 for copy and top of the shop channel 40. Did use A.M but dad was worried about being caught. We had a small ariel but my boyfriend had a huge ariel,can't think of the life of me what it was called. Had huge amount of friends and had a real laugh with some of the wind ups we had on there,memories,priceless. Tina
