A little wooden money box by the home phone, for when the neighbours nip round to make a call.

Party lines.

Nobody ever seems to risk it for a swisskit anymore!

I think it's called County Lines now.

How's it pathetic? Who would want a chat with their mates all over the TV?

It doesn't bother me but I do think it's funny. It's not like they're exchanging nuclear missile launch codes, though if they are I take all this back, obvs!

Better days 

Propping up the bar at the Lacarno(Tiffanys)on Babbington Lane, Looking at all the talent on show, Wearing my Panda Collar shirt over my jacket collar, Oxford bags, Shoes that made you 3-4 inches taller and still I couldn't pull a bird ?

Thick sliced bacon is available from any butchers or farm shop.

Sunday Night at the London palladium was crap.

Arctic roll.  Banana & Sugar sandwiches.  Beef Dripping (+ salt) on toast.
Buying Sherry on draught (Take an empty bottle).
Telling the man at the door nobody else was in, and telling them mum will settle up next week!
Having to go to the corner shop with a note from mum asking for credit until Thursday evening. 
Always being sent to buy Dr Whites, despite being the only boy in the house, and wondering why they always used to wrap them in brown paper!

How babies deal with it, I have no idea. Could not catch my breath, could not even speak. The poor soles must be absolutely terrified. 
I was in a meeting once and someone was just about to call an ambulance. All the docs said was that I had a viral infection. 

I had it at age 18 months. Obviously can't remember it but there was a rusty little lantern thing on the top shelf of our pantry, and it fascinated me to know it was the night light they burned to help me breathe when sleeping.  Apparently it was touch and go with me for a while and I have a "weak chest" to this day.

Oh, proper pantries. That's another thing you don't see anymore. No fridge when we were growing up.

Electric blankets

Pouring off milk on your cornflakes and not realising till the first mouthful

Wallpaper

Pink Panther cholcolate bars

Teddy boys

Pedos that would stop you on the way home from school and offer you sweets

Old men sitting on park benches telling stories of fighting wars in far flung lands

People walking anywhere more than ten minutes away

Mates whose parents are from the Caribbean or India

Sitting outside the pub waiting for your parents because you're too young to go in

Outside toilets

Dentists giving you a filling without anaesthetic

Pop stars singing about 16 and 18 year olds as sexy and cute

My grandma had a pantry,  my dad tells me before they got a fridge food was often served up after scraping off the off bits. 

Didn't do her any harm,  lived to 100.
