It was awful if your radio was packing up. W e used to go to Weston’s and get our accumulator. They didn’t charge much and if you were lucky you had two, so you took one out and put the other in.  We used to listen to ‘Take it from Here’ and things like that.
Pauline Harwood nee Hatch b 1930

When our accumulators were charged up at Weston’s shop, they were put on the shelf  waiting to be collected. You had to put your name on them. Palma Ault nee Holloway
