Sunday tea time all was fine till "Sing Something Simple" came on the radio. I hated it, to me it signified the end of the weekend, and school tomorrow. Uggggh

I am obviously older than you (71 next month) and I remember Sing Something Simple and loved it. Yes the songs were ones my mother used to sing, but I was brought up in the early 1950's listening to people like Perry Como, Nat King Cole, Frankie Laine, Johnny Ray, Dickie Valentine and Ruby Murray etc. and then in the late 1950's to Rock 'N' Roll with people like Bill Haley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and Fats Domino. They were good times.

I remember the Billy Cotton Bandshow. Sunday's at lunchtime. Loved it. Before Billy Cotton was Two Way Family Favourites with Jean Metcalfe and Cliff Mitchelmore who was later replaced by Bill Crozier.

I used to feel depressed as soon as I heard the introduction

I echo Tiggsy's comment - that music even now makes me think of school and weekends being over - sad. :'(

When I went to bed in the 60's my mum used to lay in the bath and sing, such as Frank Sinatra, Ruby Murray etc. Mum is nearly 88 years old, has all her marbles, a 91 year old male friend, but my abiding memories are of her singing me to sleep while soaking in the bath

Actually I find a strange comfort with these old programmes and all they recall for me. I never hated it, it was just the way it was. It didn't stop me from listening to my own music though.

My mother used to listen to Bridie Gallagher and Jim Reeves which left me depressed for most of the week, let alone Sundays.

Absolutely loved sss, after a sunday tea of cockles or winkles sandwich, followed by peaches/ pears in a bit of evap milk, then a slice of battenburg or angel cake with a cup of tea. Mind you I had to clean my shoes for school for the coming week, and have my weekly bath after!! Oh happy carefree days.
