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

My parents had a big ashtray made out of that stuff.

Neither smoked, and it only came out of the cupboard when my uncle Doug (who was actually my mum's cousin or something like that) visited with his cigars. I used to enjoy that. Uncle Doug was one of the few people in the universe bigger than my dad, and his wife was nearly as big (they were both cops).

No 70s coffee table was complete without an Onyx lighter/ashtray combo as you say even if people didn't smoke.
