1 Jan 1969 Jahr - TV accounted for 23% of leisure activities

Beschreibung:

Fewer people were expected to work on the weekends and so leisure time increased.

TV accounted a lot for this leisure time especially with programmes that focused around hobbies such as Gardener's World.

Wilson's white heat of technology gave gardeners the Flymo Hover Mower.

DIY also became popular.

Holidays were changing as caravans were becoming more popular. The Caravan Club saw it's membership double during the sixties.
