My recollection of a record player was a nice quality piece of furniture housing this wind up player, the type that had a horn on top & this would be in 1938/39

Who then can remember all the sailers in town, during the last war all the MTB's ML's & MGB's and the noise they created almost every night on leaving port & coming back early mornings. Huge numbers of sailer were billeted out into local peoples homes, We had four sailers in our home & they all had to sleep in one room

Yes aussiek we had 2 sailors in our home in North Parade. Plenty of extra food for us as they always were able to supplement our rations.

I wasnt around but my Nan often used to tell me about the sailors she had in her house she had quite a few ( not all at once) nad they stayed friends with her and my grandad for most of their lives often coming back with their families to stay with them and I do remember some names from these subsequent visits

Aussie: our gramophone was housed in a cabinet - but the horn was inside the cabinet - a bit like the one below - only not as posh!  I had two 78s - a Disney one: "Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" and Henry Hall's "Teddy Bears Picnic"/"Hush, hush, hush, here comes the Bogeyman"!  I also learned an important lesson about 78s - they break if you sit on them!  Grin
