In the mid-1980s, as a career military officer, I did an Armoured Reconnaissance (Recce) course in the United Kingdom, as part of my professional development.
At the same time, my classmate, Kwadwo, was in London as a medical officer. Mobile phones had not arrived. We, therefore, communicated by letters.
At the end of my course, I arrived in London on my way back to Ghana. Ghana was then transitioning from the black-and-white television to colour.
Like many young men at the time, acquiring a colour television was my dream. This was also a period of the video-deck and cassettes for showing movies.
