I'm unsure now if I did.
I seem to vaguely recall a travel clock. You know, they folded up into themselves like a clam. It might have been a mucky brown mock leather with golden metal trim.
I had a bedside cupboard so it would have been on there.
Being a travel clock it will have required winding at the back. What a pain that will have been and no doubt I always forgot!
Then again, did kids really need to know the time at home> My Mum would have got me up for school I'm pretty sure.
If only we could go back and film it all for the future!
Did you have a clock in your childhood bedroom readers?
In the 70's I had a clock radio cassette. You could program it like a video recorder to record radio shows whilst you were out. This was great BUT for some reason it assumed there were 71 seconds in a minute! My teenage mathematical skills were tested to program that gadget successfully!
ReplyDeleteLong minutes those Kev! Not sure I had one of those but I was looking at one in a retro shop in Harrogate the other day. Bright orange and very cool looking with a price tag to match!
