A brief intermission

Something has awakened following on from reading something about the old BBC Test card on The Angels site. I think it was a memory, probably one of the earliest I have that is T related. I remember as a young child looking at this when it used to come on and  not just thinking " Oh I wish that was me" but also "Is that me?"

OK you may think I'm going over the top here but as a young fella-me-lad, for me the girl in the picture looked just like me but with long hair and a headband etc. That was disconcerting, so much so it still feels slightly uncomforatble today. Take away the hair etc and that would be what I looked like I did back then.

I'm not going to go into the psychology of this because quite frankly I wouldn't know where to start. I think though it was one of the first images I identified with personally and not just wished to be. More "That could so be me!" as opposed to anything else.

Try not to laugh all at once and remember to turn the telly off when you hear the tone. Normal scheduled programmes will start again soon.
