I agree with that I don't think my parents liked any post war music and referred to the music broadcast by the pirates as trash.

When I built crystal and simple transistor sets in my early teens the only station they'd receive was the BBC Home Service on 275 metres from the Postwick transmitter. I used to like listening to "A book at bedtime" whilst in bed, but my parents considered this too highbrow
