Bobbie Comber - You Can't Do That There Here - Regentone Tape Recorder.
This Regentone Tape Recorder, which I recently bought for £20 at an auction sale, works fairly well. At the end of the video I demonstrate the tape recorder's fast wind and you can see that it needs a bit of a nudge to send it on it's way. I searched on YT for a video of a Regentone Tape Recorder and could not find one so I made this short effort. This tape recorder uses the very common BSR (Birmingham Sound Reproducers) TD2 tape deck which you will find in all kinds of brands of tape recorder including Fidelity, Bush and Elizabethan to name but a few - there are plenty of these on You Tube.
I recorded "You Can't Do That There Here" from You Tube a long time ago but the original video has gone and when I search for this song on YT it cannot be found either with the name of Bobbie Comber or his pseudonym Sammy Gay. So hopefully with this video I can kill two birds with one stone - upload this comedy song and demonstrate the tape recorder. I made this video by pointing the camera at the tape recorder and using the tape recorder's own internal speaker so, for better or worse, you can have that genuine old (decrepit) tape recorder experience.
Bobbie Comber (real name Edmund Comber 1886 - 1942) - actor, comedian and singer of novelty songs. See Wikipedia for further details.

Paddle Steamer "Medway Queen" with songs by Bobby Redway.

Film footage of PS "Medway Queen" at Gillingham Pier, (Kent , UK) shot on August 12th 2023. Music by Bobby Redway from a cassette tape bought from the Medway Queen Preservation Society (MQPS) shop at Gillingham Pier. Songs are "Save Our Queen" and "Goodbye Sun Pier". I can find no mention of Bobby Redway on the internet and would guess that this tape was made many years ago in the pre-internet ...

    Just a correction of the description, Leonard James Callaghan, Baron Callaghan of Cardiff was the one who ended the Post-War consensus or at least stated so publicly. Watch his 1976 Labour Party Conference Speech.

      The point that you make is a good one but nevertheless I think that it's generally accepted that '79 was a watershed in British Politics which set the agenda for politics right up to the present time only comparable with 1945 which to me is history as it's before my time. The difference between Labour and Conservative then was quite stark in a way that is not so now. It will make little difference whether Starmak or Sumer becomes prime minister after the election that is about to be as neither of the parties or the men who lead them stand for anything anymore. I have come to agree with Galloway who describes them as "two cheeks of the same a*rse".

      @@oldelephantstew Well granted they were different, Labour was still wedded to the unions and working with them as being sufficient to end all their problems instead of curtailing the power of the unions and increasing interest rates which worked although with huge unemployment consequences. The rest I somewhat agree with. The current (03.07.24) government is the most progressive in history and economically is not exactly right-wing with massive spending grants (Not that they are any good by the way.).

    I hope our Democrat friends in Washington may see this and reflect on Mr Biden. I make the suggestion around these two mens ages. No other comparison; Biden is a political midget next to MacMillan. Trump will win, and that's preferable IMO but that's a low bar of competence; how apt.

    I am thinking that this is around the time that I lived at Cliftonville (Margate, Kent) ...I did various jobs for my landlord, thus did not pay 'top-up', - from fitting phone exchange stuff + video cameras also rolling out the newly restored (by me) fire alarm to helping one time on a flat clearance in the West End (we nearly accidentally threw the shadow home secretary into the garbage truck - loool).... ...around 4 years after this video I would arrive Hastings for the first time........
