Oh yes, I had one and I loved it,it wasn't legal and it used to interfere with some of the neighbours telly's and you couldn't deny it 'cause they could hear your voice,so I was on it through the night and at weekends slept all morning.Oh they were the days. Who used to play foxhunt in the cars we had some great laughs with that.

In 1982/3 I bought a hand held CB radio. My uncle had been on his CB for a while, and having more money then sense, I wanted one. My then boyfriend went on it all the time, I was too shy ! My boyfriend was Squeeky Lee~~~~ and I was Cut Throat Pirate (guess who liked Adam Ant ! ) He went on to by his own CB which had a better reception. If you think about it, They were the forunners for mobile phones lol Elaine x
