kazisindahouse Posted August 19, 2005 Share Posted August 19, 2005 Crikes you lot are bringing back some memories! I was Flower Pot and my ex was Big Ben. Actually met him on over the airwaves when he offered to come a sort out my aerial. Our daughter was Little Weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally68 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Originally posted by Marky Baby I used CB when it was on 27MHz a.m. In those days the airwaves were self regulating and anyone who used bad language over the air was chastised by the other users. My President Veep was nicked out of my car and I never replaced it but reported it to the police and had to sign a statement that I was an illegal CB user. Oh the wonderful days of Mag Mounts, Standing Wave Level meters and dodging the authorities, Great Fun. I remember my brother using CB at that time. His handle was Manfred. Maybe you remember him?

davep Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Yeah, same reason we jacked it in. When they first came out, CB's were expensive (£70 ish) so only proper people had them, but the market got flooded and prices crashed so every idiot could afford one. Blank keying, music playing etc were all rife. Still used my car one for a bit when we were out of Sheffield, out at Skeggy for instance it was still OK. Got a mobile phone instead as soon as they became halfway affordable - I've had one so long that it needed a number change (it used to start 0589) and was about 8 times as big as my present one !!!!
