"Mic check, mic check!" Deary fucking me. I'm sure they were great fun, I'm a bit young to really remember them

Well the nickname us kids gave her was Jelly Baby so I'll let you fill in the blanks.

I used to enjoy it. All sounds fairly ridiculous since the internet and mobile phones completely changed communication but at the time it was a good laugh. My handle was Vanguard due to the brand of cigarettes I smoked at that particular time.

[RightTurnClyde]

I was rummaging about the loft just before Christmas and discovered my old Uniden. I had many a laugh and had a fair few eyeballs with a number of interesting characters back in the day.

"Side"

"Side in"

"Who is on?"

"Who is asking?"

Good times.

South Manchester/Wythenshawe used to be swarming with CB users.

Martini man
Pegasus Paul
Fat Freddy
Blue Dolphin
Smelly Keith
Streetfighter

to name a few.
