- Ray's Rants Podcast - Do You Remember? Do you remember.... How many times have you heard that over the years? Do you remember the old Morris Minor cars? Do you remember vending machines where you could buy chocolate bars? In this episode, I look back at things we might, or might not, remember.

Listening to this has brought back some lovely memories.
Beautifully presented. Nice to hear all the stories and yes, I do remember. Daniel
Thanks!
I remember listening to Radio Luxembourg as a child on my little transistor radio, fading in and out on 208m, wonderful times!
Fab 208!
I remember as a boy in the 70's going to the swimming baths in the freezing middle of winter and coming out smelling of chlorine and still with wet hair, going to the "Klix" vending machine for a hot chocolate. It was either five or ten pence, and we used to walk home hugging the little plastic cup with it's volcanic contents.
If we were really lucky you could get a Dundee biscuit too, they were as big as your head in those days!
Happy memories.
I remember that… and I never did learn to swim!
@@g4nsj neither did I,. Well, not properly. I did develop diabetes though, can't think why!
Great to hear your voice, like a radio broadcast, I can see this becoming popular for "older people" who like to reminisce and moan, you cant beat a good moan! You fixed an old radio for me many years ago, it's still going strong, all the best.
Glad the radio is still going. I put the podcast on the wrong channel but people seem to like it! Cheers, Ray.
@@g4nsj You could be onto something here!
I remember the chocolate bar from the 70s called texan bar. Liked them as a kid. And spangles .
Happy days!
Hello Ray, i remember Popeye and Micky Mouse but my favorite... Road Runner and Wiley E Coyote🙂 the candy shaped like a hart... I don't visit the candystore much... maybe once a month a snickers from the supermarket...
This is a thing! Hearing those things from years ago... I LOVE IT!!! Born in the 70's for me it was a great time to grew up... the 80's and 90's were also fun... The world was more relaxed as i see it... Yes there were things going on... like now... but how do i say it... i liked the time before 2000.
More pirate stations on the radio... much more fun on the radio, much beter music. I like 60's 70's 80's music. Not what is produced now.
Things that are now forbidden were in that time normal... burning things? No problem... today a fine of €140,-
And no mobile phones!!! everyone is using a mobile phone... talking with eachother? No everybody is watching on their screen...
Hi Rolf, it’s nice to hear from you. I put the podcast on the wrong channel but people seem to like it. Yes, the radio was much better back then, none of this modern rubbish! Anyway, I hope all is well with you. Cheers, Ray.
@@g4nsj I remember the Pirate Radio Ships, up here I could hear North Sea, Carline, and on occasions some Peace Radio Ship. Luxemburg was a bit of a struggle, but then on my tiny transistor radio it was a miracle I heard anything. I had periods of silence where I heard nothing at all.
I remember the Pirates being shut down and the BBC advertising Radio One, the station for the young. It was ok-ish when it started, but it went sour very quickly, with more and more yap instead of music!
Real radio died with the closing of the Pirates. They played music that you would otherwise have never heard!
If it were not for the pirates, some bands would have sunk without trace.
Shame they were still not around, we might have more, better bands around.
With a lot better music and a lot more varied.
I remember a Milk vending machine with a few flavours of milk in it. It stood at a crossroads at Keith, just at the bottom of the high street. I last saw it in the early 70s. Now there is just a mark where it used to stand. It was run by the local dairy, behind Keith Grammar School. Yes, I went there! The RAC vans used to sit just up from there at the corner Morris Minor vans, the old Picture House used to be there, no sign of it now either.
Used to see a lot of chewing gum vending machines, gob stopper machines around. Not so much these days!
Gob stoppers! They were great!
Really enjoyed this from America. Will you do it again soon?
Yes, more coming soon. Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers, Ray.

Too many people, right enough. World population 1950: 2.5 Billion. Prediction for November 2022: 8 Billion. Nuff said.
Hi Ray, a couple of corrections for you, it was Bluto, later Brutus with Popeye. And it was a wren on the farthing.
Finally Good on you and your mum for liking the great Jimi Hendrix.
Hi Pete, yes, I knew that… I was, er… testing people! Seriously. Thanks for that. You’re quite right. Nice to hear from you.

Moggy Minor...great car with the signature f6rt!!
Petrol what I can remember in the old days 60s/70s was 2star cheap stuff for mopeds /motorbike, 3star for the normal runabout type cars then 4star top of the range Petrol for the bigger engine cars ,I also remember in the mid 60s my dad had a big old Vauxhall Cresta and when I went with him to get Petrol he use to say to the attendant fill it up its empty and give the man a £10 note and get a load of change back by the time I had my first car it was about 80p a gallon then went upto a £1 a gallon and my dad saying you'll have to think about getting a cheaper car now and sell that old Zodiac you brought 😀
Ford Zodiac… lovely cars. Better than my Vauxhall with a grey plastic dashboard!
@@g4nsj I did get rid of the Zodiac in the end and got myself a Cortina 1600E and also got in to radio (CB) in the early illegal days on the AM mode so really started two of my favourite hobbies cars and radio👍
@@NUBBY39 The 1600E was a nice car, my brother had one. CB is still going strong down here on the coast.
@@g4nsj I agree the 1600E was a nice car quite a classic TBH in fact I like it so much I sold the one I had in (Aztec Gold) colour to get different one because it was in that dark Aubergine colour, as for CB I still use it now and then when the conditions are right and plenty of skip about ,still using an illegal radio old MK1 President Lincoln 10/11m band but only on SSB or AM/FM can't be bothered with the legal channels the Muppets as its seems to be called too many idiots on there here in London

Hi Phil, great to hear from you. I remember those ads! And Tirana hetrodyning with Radio 1. I believe Radio 1 move frequency a little to zero beat with Tirana. Great days! Cheers, Ray.
