Old Enough To Remember?

Come to think about it, I grew up in a Victorian two down, two up in the Bennington street in Blackburn with single pane sash windows and an outside brick loo, it had a green wooden door that was rotted at the bottom letting the rain and snow blow under it, red pained bare brick walls and a black pre-war bakelite loo lid... There was a single bar electric heater and a naked bulb hanging from the roof. Single ply, single sheet IZAL toilet paper that was tough scratchy and like Chuck Norris did not take Scheiße of anybody.
Imagine being a 10 year old kid getting up in the middle of the night, in winter into a freezing room, clumping down the 45° stairs, then out of the back of the house, knowing damn well that your scratched ass is going to be on fire for the rest of the night.izal.jpeg

Anyone remember mid to late 60s I think Chrysler products. I can’t remember all the details but something like this.

Turn on turn signal and four ways, put foot on brake then the radio would play with no key. Something like that.

I can see how that could happen. If the 4 ways are on and feeds through the turn signals to the circuit that feeds the brake lights so the brake lights keep the radio from flashing on and off, more or less ,,,,, I think. I want to know who figured that out. They had way too much time on their hands

Once, many moons ago, I was sitting in my '69 Camaro convertible, and thought about the switched-power turn signal and the unswitched-power 4-way flasher pathways both feeding the same bulbs.

So, with the engine idling, I turned on a turn signal and the 4-ways, then turned off the key. Sure enough, the engine pulsed vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom . . .
