Smokers on buses, trains, planes and in cinemas.

I used to love smoking, everywhere !

With regard to smoking, I think in a generation or two there will be no smokers.

Slot headed screws.

A "yankee" screwdriver.




Ceefax and waiting for the pages to come round again.

Thursday night being Top of the Pops and Tomorrows World night.

Saturday afternoon wrestling with the likes of Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks.

Being bored and actually really having nothing to do, although we would always find something to do, even if it was nothing.

Not having to take your shoes off at the airport.
