Yo, Vanessa;
We used 88 - the 'high and golden number - as a sign of friendship.
Do you think I'm a three-legged beaver? (not that there's a problem, as far as
I'm concerned.) The CB lingo varied a lot!
One of the fads that we went through was having a loudspeaker horn on the
outside of our skateboards when we went mobile. OK, I was a passenger, but hey,
it was fun! When we spotted fellow breakers we would hail them at twenty yards
giving them a hundred decibels.
"Hey, good buddy! eyeball!"
I wonder why some folk thought we were strange...
If we met in, say, the street, or in a shop, instead of being normal - when was
I ever normal? - we'd slip into CB speak, scaring the heck out of passers by.
Ah, the good old days!
Catch you on the flip side!

On the side, on the side, are you in love with darren, as 88s is love and
kisses and you say 10 10 which is until you do it again and that you are down
and clear, over and out good buddy.
vanessa.

Hi Good Buddy, u got your ears on?
Great shame that mobiles more or less killed off the CB.
The mobile only gives you 1 to 1 contact whereas the good old CB could let you
have a chat with more than one user.
Great shame as so much free fun to use.
Darren.

Don't tell me you haven't heard of CB radio ( Citizens Band Radio ) made legal
in the UK in 1981....though some users ( cough, cough,) were using illegal
equipment before, during and afterward?
It was a cheap kind of amateur radio - though sometimes the radio hams got
jealous 'cos we got better contacts than they did!
It originated in the States, where, to avoid the police detecting them, users
evolved a 'language' of their own, which sounded weird to those who didn't know
it.
Some of it spread this side of the pond as well.
You must have heard/seen the films Smokey and the Bandit, or Convoy? A lot of
that stuff was, in fact, based on truth!
Here in the UK, there were many blind and disabled users - or 'breakers' as the
CB lingo used the word for users.
I finally went silent key - stopped using CB about six years ago when mobile
phones made them a bit obsolete.
A lot of truckers still use them, though.
