Episode 5 - Modern Life & Transport Tales

This final conversation with my grandad covers a wide range of topics, focusing mostly on modern life & transport.

We discuss politics, changing technology & his first trip abroad when he was in his 70s.

There’s memories from the 1951 Festival of Britain, watching the Moon landing & the 1966 World Cup, plus plenty of football chat including his progressive thoughts on the women’s game.

A fair few transport tales crop up, mostly discussing his matchless motorbikes, unpopular sidecar & his many breakdowns.

It’s a nice random rambly chat, with my parents popping up towards the end as we discuss the biggest differences over the last century and his thoughts on the future.

I hope you enjoyed hearing my grandad's Twentieth Century Tales. Thanks for listening!
