I think a gentle man with very silver wavy hair and brilliant blue eyes,
I think of a clever man who could sit and work out any problem, I think of a constant stream of people knocking at our door asking him to mend an iron, s radio / wireless), he was a great thinker
How would you describe yours?

at least he made the effort Piggynose, my Dad covered our sitting /living room with pics/posters of Elvis (ahhhhhh ) but my Mam didn't mind, neither did we, cos then we could cover our walls in the bedrooms with our own pop or sporting heroes

Yes it was Emmie. He left my mum years and years ago, and she never got over it. Fast forward many years, everyone has moved on with their lives, my dad meets another woman but didn’t tell us all for ages, and we certainly didnt tell my mum. Anyway, he arranges a meal so that me, and my siblings could meet her. So we all turn up with our partners, and let’s just say that I didn’t cope very well with seeing him with another woman when I knew that my mum had never got over him leaving her, and my sweet and innocent face, which holds a gob that sometimes gets the better of her, well let’s just say that day was one of those times……… :( :(
Good morning all, thanks for those kind words Barsel, the mind is such a strange phenomenon as I went to sleep and dreamt of mt Dad, he was a young man resplendent in his RAF uniform which was odd as he was in civvy street when I was born ,me being the youngest of five, my Dad was tea total and each Christmas he’d make a bottle of ginger wine without the alcohol content and that would be his tipple at the dinner table , later it would be mine on those days in the month when I’d have ‘cramp’ :0)
Hi Bobbs and all. Just seen this. My dad was a radio amateur, he taught pitmans shorthand 4 nights a week.
He would talk to me as a youngster with one headphone on and tapping out morse code.
He built a TV in the 50's. Also a wire recorder, used wire instead of tape.
Happy memories. My mum never seemed to mind about the soldering iron burns on the dining room table.

Hi Sparkly , we come from a strong mining area , his four brothers followed their own father to be coal miners ( salt of the earth those men) he left school at 15 and was a boy entrant in the RAF, saying he was 16, he did 15 years including the war years where he was stationed in Egypt and had medals for the North African campaign, there’s three medals and my brother has them, from there he went into Radar at a local factory which was nicknamed Scanners, then he had a long career as a radio engineer, later to be a radio/tv engineer
I used to drive my dad 4 nights a week to various nightschool classes where he taught shorthand. I was very envious outside the classroom full of young women. He would moan that they were not learning quick enough.
He was a radio operator during the war, volunteered. He did not fancy the RAF, the radio operator was the rear gunner,lol. The navy radio post was under the ammunition store, he settle for a post in Britain.
