My Mother always called it the Power......"pass me the power she would say"....                        I do remember the first video recorder which had a cable of about 3 metres and it was just a button at the end, It would simply pause the picture , but with a bloody big line across the screen.

I remember Greenwood Academy had a video recorder exactly like that- the teachers kept tripping over the flex.

The very first video recorder we had at home was rented from Granada (it was a "top loader") and it came with a blank tape. When my Dad decided to do away with it, they came and took it away, and actually asked for the tape back. I was raging- I had a cracking Billy Bragg documentary on it.
