Oh, my brothers were RTL devotees. When I was very small, they'd re-tune the
radio (my father hated the inconvenience of having to tune back to the third
programme) and get caught listening to RTL when Dad came back from teaching
evening classes. I don't think it was quite a corporal offence, normally,
but he had a hair trigger in that respect. Then, two brothers left home, the
third acquired a transistor radio, which was thereafter glued to his ear.
A strange clash of rebellions, since my father was a great jazz fan--the
true reason he wore a goatee beard and not, as the kids at school believed,
because his chin was shot off by the Japanese.
