People using pocket watches when it isn't some sort of special occasion.

People smoking inside public places like pubs. Good thing too, I was sick of being made to smell like an ashtray wherever I went.

Yebbut you can't step out of a pub for a breath of fresh air anymore.....

Sardine tins. They used to undo with a big long thing kinds like the corned beef tin ones, except the whole lid came off. Do they still exist?
And Japanese Sapporo beer. Used to come in a lovely can, that was sort-of tapered, and the entire top came off. You had a ring-pull, and the lid peeled away in a metallic spiral. I loved those cans...

Strangely its sardine cans that now have ring pulls
