That's unfair especially when he had a licence.

Watching the Apollo Space programme on TV including the Moon landings.

I was too young for that but I did have a T shirt with satellites on it.

Listening to all those short wave radio stations. There's not so many now they take a bit of searching out.

Your parents owning a Stereogram with a radio.
