Can you name things that youngsters of today won't know?

A Verruca was a great way of skipping school one morning a week for six weeks whilst a Doctor cut it out bit by bit and got you off all P.E. at the same time

We were discussing that the other weekend and reminiscing about going to the State Cinema in Grays, on a Saturday morning, for Film Club. A fantastic cinema, that even had a Compton Organ that used to rise from the orchestra pit, which is being allowed to rot away...

Apparently Wetherspoons want to turn it into a pub, with a full restoration, at least that's what they have said in their planning application: http://www.yourthurrock.com/2017/12/07/exciting-plans-wetherspoons-site-state-cinema-submitted/ better than letting it rot, but there have been several schemes to sort it out and none have come to fruition as yet, time will tell.

That quite a few of us old folks get technology far more than they do because who do you think designed or built it in the first place?

I had a very good snooker cue from Embassy coupons

They were rubbish. I remember having a huge pile of Embassy coupons and finding out that they were worth a plastic cruet set.

I got an electric food mixer.
And I don't smoke!

Aliens?

They won't know that film either

I work in a team of 11. I am the only one over 30 except for the Team Manager and she is only 35. I suspect this lot wouldn’t know decent music even if they were smacked upside the head by a Stratocaster.

You'd be better using a Telecaster like Keef did on stage once, his comment when asked about the incident was that Fenders are tough things and that the guitar never went out of tune.
