Nagel Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'm old enough to remember the shoe fitting x-ray machines in the shoe shop. You put your feet in the bottom of the machine and looked at the screen on top and you could see the bones in your toes wiggling. I must have seen one of the last ones still around, as they've long since been banned on safety grounds. As a toddler I would spend ages looking at by bones whilst my mum was buying new shoes for my brother.

Haha, yeah ancient I remember the shoe fitting fluoroscope from a shoe shop in Liverpool around 1963. I think some survived until the Seventies, but they're now sought after collectors items. Does anyone remember them from Sheffield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnvqsos Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 What ever gave you that idea? The references to laundrettes and BW TV,both introduced during the late 1930s.Also the vagueness seemed to confer a certain antiquity to events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vague_Boy Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yorkshire TV's pioneering experiment with breakfast TV in 1977. They showed cartoons and Peyton Place, which was a bit weird, just before school. Also a news program called Good Morning Calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeMaquis Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Yorkshire TV's pioneering experiment with breakfast TV in 1977. Some of us can remember getting Granada and ABC Weekend before Yorkshire TV was founded. We also used to be able to pick up Tyne Tees which was good as they showed highlights of different football matches on Sunday to what Yorkshire showed.
