Did "The Cloisters" had televisions with satellites on roof the old fashioned way to see the BBC world service, the closet clear reception channels of those days would have been Channel 1 (from Iran).... PTV (from Pakistan) ......... Durdarshan {DD} (from India) these were the famous channels of the time does anyone remember ?

And how were the roads between the emirates... I am sure the best in entire Gulf in those days... as it is today! Or perhaps very bumpy... what were the best cars of those days in the Trucial States?? LR Defender and Nissan Patrol...what about Land Cruiser or Willy's Jeep etc ...

And did Sharjah had telephone lines in the 60s ? Because Etisalat Telecommunication was established in mid 70s ... don't know if this area had phone prior to that?
