I remember my dad thinking he was a businessman and bought himself a fax machine. Never received a fax ever, though I did make lots of copies of my own drawings and tracings. Do kids trace anymore?? Same happened when he bought a 'mobile' phone which I still have actually. He had a mobile but nobody else did and everyone still called the house phone so it was pointless.

OK here's one...

Leather lace up footballs with that special lacing needle and a bladder that you had to repair punctures in when you kicked it into the rose bush... Oh and weighed a freaking ton when they got wet...

Or even a double feature saw Blazing Saddles/Monty Python & The Holy Grail and Airplane/Life Of Brian that way

And back then they didn't used to kick you out after the film was over so you just sat there and waited for the film to start again

Yeah spot on... You used to get two films at least... Remember sneaking in under age and seeing quadrophenia and scum on the same bill... That film was gross...

Once we had an orchestra play either before the film or during the interval, I can't remember. Was one of my first times at the Cinema. I began to think it was the norm and then I stopped wondering when the music was going to be on as it never occurred again. Come to think of it, never had any intervals after that time.

Finedon ,

Food Rationing.

When some cars had a front bench seat with a steering column gear change.

When a radio was an extra in a car

When cars had no seat belts.

When the only shops open on a Sunday were newsagents,

When beer was two shilling and six pence (12.5p in new money) a pint.

When you could buy a two course meal at a Bernie Inns for under £1

Food rationing has made me think of the food mountains. If you were on benefits you got butter and cheese. Thatchers Britain or a little after?

When a ford escort mk1 was a new car not the price of a small house.

Scalextrix motorcycle and side car combinations and cars that had steering / changed lanes.

Hornby 3 rail train sets...

I had a chopper bike to go to school, the older type.

Meatloaf's Paradise by the dashboard light got played as a hint to get frisky but frisky was all you did get and went home with blue balls.
