It is a riveting read all the same.

This is a normal post I had an Acorn Electron too!
Parents couldn't afford a BBC :(

But the Electron was alright for learning BBC Basic and machine code programming the 6502A chip.

Thanks for reminding me of it!

This is a normal post I was jealous of Commodore owners.
Growing up with a BBC Micro B was the gaming equivalent of wearing a leper's bell.

Did have an Atari though, the games console with wood effect panels.

The '80s were a bit shit.

This is a normal post How DARE you.
BBC B had Repton & Exile (and Elite, if you like that kind of thing)!
...and Castle Quest. PLus ports of most of the decent speccy games.
