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

[Andrew_P]

Getting your expertly taken photographs back and they are awful. Worse still pointless "tips" stickers

The magic of seeing a Polaroid for the first time

Realising the Polaroid was crap

 

[screenman]

You remember it?

It just sounded painfull, I do remember the cane and also the ruler.

Waiting for my brother to get the coal fire going in the morning

A house with no central heating!

Being left to your own devices from 12, without the need to be contactable by "phone"

Actually ringing people to arrange something.

Phoning from a telephone box to say you will be late home.

Proper phone books, that no one used!

Red Bus Rover (maybe London centric)

Greenline buses (goes out to the country Guvnor)

It just sounded painfull, I do remember the cane and also the ruler.

Think weightlifter's belt, from the back.

Shops actually closing - everything closed on a Sunday.

Fruit and Veg were seasonal

Getting 4 adults and 4 kids in to a four door saloon to go down to the coast!

Waiting for my brother to get the coal fire going in the morning

A house with no central heating!

Shovelling the coal from bunker in the dark with half broken shovel!

Think weightlifter's belt, from the back.

Barbaric when you think about it.

Playing British Bulldog...playing out even

Kids in my wife's school still play this. I couldn't believe it when I heard it.

How about yo-yos.

Communal skipping ropes in school playgrounds, with half a dozen kids bouncing up and down together.

Standing for the National Anthem at the cinema.
