I am pretty sure you could buy a home record cutting lathe in the early 60s which was going to compete with reel to reel tape.
It failed. Earlier there were magnetic disc recording machines madr by Pye. I have one of those in the collection but not the lathe.

If you are one of the people criticising the decision that 'nature' will be the theme of our new banknotes, please note:
You are not criticising the government, nor Labour, nor the Chancellor, nor the Bank of England.
You are criticising the public, who chose 'nature' above all other options.

If then it becomes an unavoidable tax for an address not just consumers f the service. I think that would be unpopular and affect collection. I am not sure local govenment would want the extra beaurocracy of deciding who to collect from if not unavoidable and certainly would not want enforcement

One of my top 5 favourite records of all times.
My son has a copy with two side two labels which is really rare but also really annoying.

A late 60s pocket radio called Internet Satellite.
So several years before the term Internet was coined for a network of interconnected computer networks in the mid 70s. Several years earlier a small company in Beckenham Kent sold cheapo Hong Kong made pocket radios.
They called themselves Internet.
Here is one I bought today with box.

I found a 12 sided threepenny bit in Livie the Triumph 1300 under the back seat. More likely lost out of a back pocket than a good luck charm I think.
