raindog Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Now I know I'm old!!! When I got my first full-time job as a youth worker back in 1977, all the kids were into CB radio. "1-4 for a copy!" was the cry (whatever that meant) and I remember spending lots of time trying to convince vulnerable young women that it probably wasn't a good idea to arrange "an eyeball" in the park at night with some bloke they'd never met and could be 20 years older than them. Luckily, they soon discovered the delights of punk and CB disappeared completely in our area. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistyrayn Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 This will prob sound sad but ive never heard of Cb Radio! CB was Citzen Band Radio.. widely used in the States.. but introduced into the UK somewhere early 1970's.. it was an early form of communication / 2way radio before mobile phones were around ( and illegal till 1982 ish )... u could chat with people with the right set up across the country or even across the water.. u see the boy racers all meeting up in car parks... well CB ers did it first lol we had a language all of our own to communicate with out others understanding.. better known as the 10 code.. and for mick's knowledge " 1-4 for a copy " meant 14 as in the channel which was used as a calling channel. and copy meant chat... so 1-4 for a copy meant "im on channel 14 is there any one who would like to chat to me" .. oh Happy days !!!!

Austinville Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 My dad had one too. He was "Crackerbox" - (as we lived in a mobile home) Lordy he loved that thing. He'd sit up for hours and hours listening to skip and chatting with many. I was "Lil Oly" though I don't remember why. Am glad I'm not the only one who feels old after reading our youngsters comments! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
