Yeah, good effort but no darts. If VHS were worth anything what would people sell at car boots? |  | | |

Obviously an April Fool. If it were true, they would have gone for the far superior version of Betamax.

My first panasonic was around 1983 vintage. I might be hallucinating but I seem to remember it cost 400 notes. That can't be right can it? Some miserable little scrote nicked it and my portable telly from Cwmdu in 1986. | |

My first machine was a Sharp VHS with cord remote in 1984 from the Co-op.
Cost me £464 | |

I remember the day we had our first video recorder. Early 80s, the year Keith Deller won the World Darts Championship. It was a very exciting day. Panasonic top loader. F*cking huge it was. Rented, as was the TV at the time. We could never afford to buy.
Happy days. I've made myself all maudlin and a little teary now. [Post edited 1 Apr 2016 19:28]

My dad used to work for 3M, so we were awash with Scotch "rerecord not fade away" tapes, hes still got plenty of them in the attic and Scotch tape.
I was a young pup back then, but we had a panasonic toploader from around the early 1980s from memory.
Its so sad to see the 3M plant in Gorseinon just there, used be a major manufacturer back in the day, now just basically an empty site.
Just shows how much we import as a country and recent Govts dont give a shite about our manufacturing expertise and turned us into a cheap service industry. [Post edited 1 Apr 2016 21:21]

My brother once left one of his 'art' films in our old big Panasonic toploader (popular on here i see). My mother god bless her noticed that there was a tape in there and she assumed it was one of her blank tapes so she pressed record to tape a film while she watched something else on the other channel.
Next day she watched the film she had taped but didn't expect a full on spaff fest on her screen as soon as the end credits finished. (remember the days when no matter how many times we recorded stuff, bits of old recordings seemed to linger at the end of video tapes - this was one of them). |  |

Mate shared a big house and all the porn vids were jokingly labelled as classic films.
Someone's dear old mother had a shock one afternoon after settling down with her tea and biscuits and Gone With The Wind turned out to be a German epic which translated as Nature's Champagne... |  | | |

At least they didn't need to change the Animal Farm label on that one tape. |  |

I remember when my dad bought home our first VHS and he told me he'd spent extra to get a remote control
Great remote control it was as well - you plugged it in to the bottom and the wire extended right across the living room to your chair...! |  | | |

We had a betamax in 1982 and got some great films from "under the counter", today's version of Navi X. |  |
