That would have been the late Tommy Vance .
The BBC radio was only medium wave then and only broadcast VHF for the top forty on a Sunday .
I was working in Denmark in 1985/6 and I , to my delight, found I could listen to the top forty when on VHF .
Down south in the early evening the BBC signal would fade and the French stations would bleed over .
God I must be old !!. |

Days when a quid could be made up of a set of three half crowns, three florins, two bob, five tanners, four thrupenny bits, eight coppers, half a dozen ha’pennies and four farthing.
When you got change out of a pound for 4 gallons of petrol, plus reams of Green Shield Stamps.
When there was no speed limit on main roads, but there were no motorways.
When Minis were real Minis, and could be made to go like stink!
When there were no Japanese motorcycles.
When kids dramas on tele (two channels, no colour!) included fabulous productions like “Stranger on the Shore” and “The Dark Island”.
When Crunchie bars were new and had lovely foil wrappers and twice as much chocolate as they do today.
When we met the horrors of the first instant foods like Vesta Savoury Rice....
When the latest “must have” toy was a new piece of stick....
When you could walk home from school safely....
When, if you did something wrong, and got caught, the local Bobby (PC Akerman!) just gave you a smack round the ears and you didn’t dare do it again!
