No older brother's feeding me electro tapes after tea here... Used to listen to Essex Radio, and got onto John Leech's Soul and Dance show, not a lot of house, but plenty of grooves.... then there was Atlantic 252 - seem to remember a dance show on there? Started finding pirate stations and got hooked - the bedroom aspect of the pirates fascinated me - I guess that was the influence of good old Citizens Band :$ who were these people? Still need to rip the tapes, but you can imagine what London station reception was like near Southend... not good. Still didn't get on to the major ruggage that workmates were doing though - Saturday mornings at the supermarket stacking shelves and these lads would finish their loads early...they'd fill the fruit n veg in record time... bit quick eh lads?
