Another badge I found among my souvenirs looks very similar to the 2LO BBC badge I mentioned earlier. This one says LO and is the badge of the Ovaltinies. When Radio Luxembourg started broadcasting in the 1930s its programmes were the first time we had heard of commercial radio, I remember them as being very enjoyable. I probably pestered my mother to let me join the Ovaltinies and get a badge. I can still remember the song.
We are the Ovaltinies, little girls and boys.
Make your request, we'll not refuse you
We are here just to amuse you.
Would you like a song or story?
Will you share our joys?
At games and sports we're more than keen,
No merrier children could be seen,
Because we all drink Ovaltine
We're happy girls and boys.
