My car is the shittest in the street. More importantly though the bloke round the corner was outed on CCTV not picking his dogs shite up.

Good song, but I'd put it behind How Soon Is Now, Panic, and This Charming Man.

First vcr we had I bought in very late 70s. £385 which was about 7 weeks wages iirc. Me da made me take it upstairs at night for months which was a pain in the arse when coming in pissed. Then he relented and kept it downstairs with a multifolded thick tea towel draped ower it at night.
Pics?

Are you sure?I had aunt and Mother cleaning b a job on handover last year and one of the lads said”I wouldn’t like to bump into them 2 on a dark night in a back alley”
So bandits looking through the window looking for loot didn’t see you had one

They cost two months wages man. Its not rocket science.
What does putting a teatowel over them do? Surely someone would break into your house and see a teatowel underneath the tele and think "oh aye, what's this this then?"
Back then there wasn't the plethora of gadgets, consoles etc and the old VCRs had LED panels which shone out like a beacon at night. If anyone was strolling past and had a casual look through the window they'd see a little gold nugget staring out at them in the form of a VCR.

The time displays were super bright at a time that no other domestic appliance had them. It’s been mentioned upthread by someone saying you could land aeroplanes by their brightness. Potential burgers walking the streets could See them glowing through your curtains....and on some estates through your brickwork.
Cheers lads, that's the answer I was looking for. Didn't realise they had such luminous displays. I haven't seen a VCR in about 15 years.

i've hidden things in my own house before when i went on holiday, then forgetting where i put them when i got back
I just control all my lights from my phone. If there's nobody home i set routines to make it look like someone is turning lights on and off in different rooms.
