The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

I went to a silver jubilee street party but don't remember it because I was very young.

The Royal Wedding I remember well though.

We had a GRAMAPHONE, if you don't mind.

Albums included The King & I (Yul Brunner), The Sound of Music (Julie Andrews), and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

My first car - a Sit Up & Beg Ford Prefect 97E, had an 8 track. Beat THAT.

I remember ITV taking to the air for the first time. Regional Stations included Anglia, Rediffusion, Southern, & Granada.

We used to rent our TV from Radio Rentals. (Weird name to rent a telly from).
