#935 Anonymous Phones and a 9 inch Telly

Anonymous

We think technology is making the younger generation brain-dead. Oh my granddaughters, all my granddaughters they all do it they come round and they sit down and they start playing games on their phones and I say what have you come round for.

The phones are like their life support machine. We never had owt like that we never even had a telephone at home. We didn’t have anything like that for years the first telly in our street was at our neighbour’s. First one was a 9 inch telly. We all used to go and look through the windows just to see it. When we were kids you rented your TV. Radio Rentals on Harehills Lane used to rent them out.
