Thanks Moneypenny,
I remember all of those - and would absolutely hate to work out how long it was!
I actually remember the Potters' Wheel interlude - shown between programmes, I think. Not sure why - perhaps the needed to pad things out, or to give people time to put the kettle on! Before ITV went on air, I believe.
Such memories!
The potters wheel and other interludes such as the london to brighton one or the windmill were put on between programmes instead of the test card...
I think they thought you were more likely to keep watching.
I also remember the telly going off after tea time and not coming back on till 7 or so. Apparently it was for mothers to put their little darlings to bed.
Can you imagine that now...:rotfl:0 -
I remember the test card - and not just from Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes!
I also remember watching the clock ticking while waiting for a Schools programme to start...0 -
Guess what?? I've never heard of Grudge (1, 2 or 3!!) I told you I was hopeless at films!!! :rotfl:0

Hi
Does anyone know how the cccs works out what percenatge of the money you pay to them is distributed to each creditor?
Cheers guys0 -
Hi Jupster.
Not sure why you've posted on this thread when none of us (as far as I am aware) is dealing with their debt through cccs.
I suggest you either start a new thread, using the "New Thread" button at the top of the page, or post on the "Ask a CCCS counsellor a question" thread which (I think) is a sticky at the top of the Debtfree Wannabee board.
Hope this helps.0 -
Right, off to bed now. Have a doctor's appointment first thing in the morning so should really have been in bed before now.0
