for those who watched Neighbours from the start

I was expecting my son when it started. The theme tune always settled him down.

I will likely start watching when it has moved on a few years.

I used to love it, but wouldn’t watch it all again now.

I used to snuggle up on the sofa with my baby daughter to watch it. Always sent her to sleep. She will be 40 this year.

I'd been in Australia at the beginning of the '80s so was a bit in love with the accent. Australia was still a bit out on a limb then playing second fiddle to the US, certainly as far as tv was concerned. It broke my day as a new mother, the early afternoon feed time, one of many. On the sofa with the baby thinking just maybe his first word might be "g'day" I also liked some of the Aussie expressions, "he's got a bluey" "on the arvo" "he shot through"I couldn't imagine watching it all over again it was of its time but I'm not ashamed to have latched on to it, many of us did
