Kitty Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Oh I was a bit disappinted with it, Sweet. In 1978 or 1979, Oxford Street decided to dispense with the usual Christmas lights and have laser beams (new technology then). What a disappoitment it was - just three or four light beams. I was underwhelmed. But I couldn't have been the only one as all the shoppers went off to Regent Street with its magnificant annual traditional display.

JayJay Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 It's lasers, probably because the first laser was demonstrated on this day in 1960. I read somewhere, that the Google logo is going to be changing every day. Can't remember why though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted May 16, 2008 Author Share Posted May 16, 2008 But of course, I was a nurse from about 18 to 21. Qualified OK but didn't like the job much. Mind you, we're talking about the late 1960s. I believe the job has changed somewhat for the better since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
