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

I remember when "Files" and "Folders" were actually Files and Folders and saving them meant putting them in a Filing Cabinet

And a desktop was what you put your files, folders and typewriter on. Windows, you looked out of them to see what the weather was doing.

Hours of fun in a make believe land involving lots of rolling of these

I have a vague recollection of doing it with my Ox Blood 10 hole Dr Martens!

I think in my case it was because they were wee bit tight.. Horse had bolted.

Yes, I did and everyone I knew did it with new Levis.

Did it work, and if it did how'd you get them on the second time?

What a fantastic thread although it makes me realise that I am indeed a bit of a grumpy old man.

Or at least I'm getting there.

Well I am rather tempted to get myself a pair of Dr Martens, looking at them I think mine were 8 hole no way would I have been bothered doing up the ten holes everyday before going to School and I think they may have impinged on the Football

I am also lusting after a bar of Old Jamaican, but it looks like it has now gone could have sworn I had seen it recently.

When you look back it is surprising how many product and brands have stood the test of time and mostly the packaging has barely changed just updated.

I did it once and the water went cold while my legs dyed themselves blue. Unrepeated.

Would youngsters understand buying a newspaper?

Yes it worked. They didn't shrink that much, but wearing them as they shrank made for a better fit.
