LOL
That must be it indeed. That photograph of Morden in the 60th is what I
remember. I said 55 years ago, it must have been 50 rather as my stay
must have been in 1965. The Rolling Stones were singing "Satisfaction',
to the great scandal of the lady of the family I was staying with. ;-)

... I'm driving in my car
and a man comes on the radio
he's telling me more and more ...
My stepmother hated it. I rather like to think that my natural mother is
still dancing to the rhythm.

<grin> It was a typical generation thing. I remember the worried, lost,
gaze of my landlady when commenting the song on the radio. What could I
say? I was 17 and she served me beans and kidneys at breakfast. :-)

I remember what I was doing when I first heard Satisfaction.*
I was camping with the BB at Stonehaven. And was listening to Radio
Luxembourg on my 6 transistor radio**, when it came on. The big boys
even stopped talking about girls, to listen.

** That’s how they were rated back then. The more transistors the better
the radio.

I dunno, mate. I was telling her a joke, she smiled and said 'I've heard
it before'. That's how I remember her: a smile on her face.

What's a transistor? I'm still trying to get to grips with this
new-fangled valve technology.

As Henning Wehn has just said on the radio. Interesting. ;-)
I'll match your internet browsing and raise you a bluegrass version of
the Sailor's Hornpipe.

Don't. I did valve theory at sixth form college.
There are a lot of very sharp volts around.
Just wait until they develop extracting power from the vacuum
fluctuation. Then it will be worth your while.
