BBC Spectrum divide myth.
I believe it was the BBC themselves a few years back that put about this idea with a series of programmes. It seems they have now effectively re-written history.
The playgroud divide was clearly Spectrum vs Commodore 64. Parents were quite happy about the fact that the one the kids wanted was the cheaper system. Rare BBC owners were largely ignored by the Speccy/C64 crowd along with Dragon and Atari owners (Don't forget the Atari 800XL, an amazing machine !).
