I see that whoever taped this lived in the West Midlands region it is nice to see what was happening on BBC Midlands Today on that Monday morning.
East Midlands, in fact, but the aerial was pointing the wrong way for Waltham, and so Sutton Coldfield's signal was stronger.
@@StreetLightOnline Oh okay it is nice to hear what was happening in Birmingham and other parts of the West Midlands
@@StreetLightOnline I see so basically your television aerial was pointing the wrong way for Waltham and you received the signal from Sutton Coldfield in Birmingham?
Well, my aunt's aerial, in reality - and it still is today! She never learned to programme in VideoPlus and so left the recorder running all evening if she was going out. When I introduced her to a PVR about ten years ago, she took to it instantly and couldn't believe how easy it was to set up a timed recording!
@@StreetLightOnline So where all your uploads actually taped in the East Midlands and Waltham transmitter region?
1:42 - I wonder how much of a fool this man was after his prediction. 1992 - No independence. 1998/99 - Devolution. 2014 - Vote in a Referendum saw No to independence 55%/44%. He was the one in for "an enormous surprise".
I remember being surprised at how history had repeated itself - I digitised and uploaded the footage not long after the 2014 election, and had no prior idea as to what would be on the cassette.
Polls looking better now, if they’ll let another vote happen (remember, democracy doesn’t stop and the entire situation changed)
