LBC Radio broadcast from August 1976 including the news about the contemporary drought. Preceded by a very cheesy Brent Cross advert.

  • The Houndsditch! Warehouse!

    This was probably the only late-1970s LBC link that didn't have a Houndsditch Warehouse ad.

  • I remember the Brent Cross ad on Capital in 1976. My sister lived near Brent Cross and I remember going there when it first opened.

    In the 1976 drought everyone was urged to use a small amount of bath water, turn the tap on and off intermitently when brushing teeth, using washing water for the garden and not to waste ANY water. What a summer - 3 months of no rain and sizzling hot every day !

    And in the Midlands where I lived Beacon Radio, with its American sounding format, had just launched.
