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. -----Original Message----- From: Carol O'Connor - Email Address: missbossyboots33@xxxxxxxxx Sent On: 19/06/2012 11:01 Sent To: guide chat - Email Address: guide.chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [guide.chat] To Daft Jim Hi Jim doing this email while waiting for my carer she has left in the car from her house so got time to do email Jim what is a cb? never heard of them is it a free view? please explane have nice day Love Carol xxxx ----- No virus found in this message.
