My dad was (and is) a bit of a prog and folk rock fan. So most long car journeys were soundtracked to Jethro Tull, Fairport Convention and Gentle Giant. Unless it was a weekend, then the car radio was tuned to whatever station had the football/rugby/cricket on.
My mum was banned from controlling the car stereo in about 1987. We were driving to Spain for a holiday and when stuck in traffic near Birmingham she put her Carpenters Greatest Hits tape on. Whether it was the heat, the poor Ford Sierra workmanship or a problem with the tape we don’t know but that tape was then irredeemably stuck in the player. It was the only thing we could listen to for a fortnight.
