Chatting a person up in person. Actually goin out on a limb and relying on your ability to go solo and pull. That you have enough game to do well for yourself.Not hoping your verification get you a meet. Too many on fab think 100 verifications mean they are gorgeous. Bring it all down to old school and if you were in a pub before social media how would you do???

This is still a thing. I continue to have better luck in the vanilla world than I do on Fab.

The manky burger and chips covered in gravy that they had to serve...which was gorgeous when you were d*unk but ran through you the next morning!! Pubs and nightclubs thick with smoke before the ban came in. And having to walk home because you could never get a taxi!! And the best bit?? Making plans for the following weekend because mobile phones weren't around. We all knew on a Saturday what we were doing the following weekend...you just rocked up at the agreed time and had a laugh!!

Belfast

Only one house in the estate with a phone so when someone died in hospital or a nursing home all calls went to that house day and night and it was up to them to go knocking doors to pass on the news.

There was a phone box but it was 100 yards from one of the largest army bases in Western Europe so nobody used it. There were multiple clicks and noises on the line if you did use it for a taxi.

Local shop where I was often left in charge aged 9 or 10 while the owner nipped into her house for lunch or if no-one was available you just took what you needed and wrote it in the book and settled up later.

No own brand products and only one size and type of each cereal, washing powder etc.

Nobody had a new bike ever. When one kid got too big for the old one, it was left in a central area for anyone to use it or given to the neighbours kids. One man repaired all the bikes foc and we were riding bikes that were 30 and 40 years old.

Working in the village chippy till 10pm then walking the 3 miles home on country roads. Bringing a fish supper with me for my Mum when she met me half way home.

Walking everywhere so you could spend the bus fare. You always got a lift and even though you didn't know them, they knew your family.

Picking potatoes & bringing in the hay. The farmers wife would arrive in the tractor with an enormous saucepan filled with stew and hunks of bread or doorstep sandwiches.....fantastic memories😁
