Computerise Christmas card

December 20, 2024

I never thought the last posting date (today) could seem modern and efficient until I stumbled across the below 1982 segment from the BBC archive.

The Blue Peter clip introduces a new concept - the computersied Christmas card - which includes "Lots of jolly music to get you in the festive mood" explains dishy Simon Groom.

The only trouble is it takes three weeks to program.

So as I take my humble pie and extreme gratitude off with me to the post office queue, I'd like to say a big thank you for reading along with TGI FaithDay this year.  

Have a very Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

See you in 2025!

Anyone for a Mr Whippy?

There a saying in dating parlance: “Don’t give away the van when you could be selling the ice creams”. In in other words: don’t sleep with someone on a first date. Not sure about dating, but it’s a good approach to marketing.
