Ah ~ now the old CB was different ~ as I am sure our resident "Hams" will be along to confirm any minute.

Beaker, Beaker for a coffee and all that stuff.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

I thought it was CB if you had an HGV licence and HAM if you didn't?

We tried CB but it was rubbish.

These tiny walkie talkies work miles better.

I stand to be corrected but Radio Hams use short wave to communicate world wide. Citizen's Band was not Short Wave and was mainly used over fairly short distances. The Late King of Jordan was a well known Radio Ham, as I believe is Prince Phillip.
Modern technology, including the mini two way radios you show as well as the mobile telephone, have made CB virtually obsolete.

I don't like this. I understand even less than I usually do.

If I remember correctly when the CB craze started all of the equipment was imported and ran at 127MHz which was illegal in the UK. The government then licensed ?CB? but running on 66MHz which meant that the equipment had to be specially made, was more expensive and basically shite. I think that was the death of it?

You are just too young for the Tony Hancock sketch (1961) and the real thing is all male territory as far as I can tell.

When I say 'all male' you must think in terms of a "deep" interest in one or more of these:

Train spotting
Collecting bus numbers
Steam engines
Astronomy
Off-roading
Motorbikes
Photography.

I shall now exile myself for a while, as I have probably offended 90% of the members here. redface:

DS failed to mention that a working knowledge of the off-side rule and the functions of a silly mid off are useful in this conversation.

Bless you ~ that's not a working knowledge .... that's repeating something that you have been taught by a B/F, probably through clenched teeth.
