This isn't coming from a Commodore 64 as much as loved the one I had way back in 1985 with a printer and the tape drive although I late got the floppy drive for it which was way more reliable for loading programs.
Sadly it was way too early to come up with a CD-Rom which would of been the ultimate being easy to press for programs to be loaded up.
I did use it for games and word processing rather than using a Petite typewriter I'd been donated way back when from a female cousin.
My C64 came with some Adrian Mole goodies tying in the the series shown here on Central Televison of Sue Townsend's iconic tale of being a teenage boy in the early 80's (and beyond) which referenced the cultural landscape we grew up in.
Being 1985 there was no question of viewing on Channel 8 from Lichfield as the 405 line VHF service was switched off for good in the first few days of January that year so the indoor ten element aerial and booster was pointed towards Fenton to watch on my portable tv.
For music shows I'd sometimes plug the headphone output into my stereo although I prefered to watch them on the main set downstairs in colour.
