Wow! You'r mum's had quite a life, not an easy one!
Out TV was black and white until I was 18, when my parents divorced, because dad refused to pay for a colour licence. As soon as dad left, mum got a colour TV and rented a video recorder. They were too expensive to buy back then. There were three TV stations as I was growing up, but dad didn't approve of commercial TV so we were only allowed to watch BBC1 and BBC2, lol!
I have MP3 players, but I still have my walkmans too.
We don't have gas so we've always had electric kettles, but the jug kettles are so different from the whistling metal ones we had years ago.
