23/02/2018 - 'I want a shared line now'

Janet's family had a shared phone line and Sean wants one now. The wee plastic bonnets that you use over your hair are called 'Rain Mates'.

When Janet's family had a phone in the 1970s it was a shared line and the neighbour could listen in. Sean wants one. The wee plastic bonnets that you use over your hair are called 'Rain Mates'. Phyllis in Coleraine still uses a string bag like her mother had and the label says 'Turtle Bags'. Sean would not like to have a motorhome because he would be hearing noises all night. A Donemana listener says a local drummer called George Burke played on some Beatles records. Sean could never see the point of drum solos at the dance hall even though when the drummer stopped he still applauded. A listener wants to hear Ballad Of The Green Berets but Sean thinks John Wayne was too big to jump out of a helicopter. Music from Little Richard, Ned Miller, Fats Domino, Jim Reeves and more.
