...You could drink and drive, not use seat belts, sit on someones lap in the car, eat what you wanted, smoke, drink, have bareback sex and just pull out when you were ready, afford fuel, afford holidays, have a laugh without someone taking offence, have a bump without fear of being sued, afford car insurance.

"Two of those strike a note with me:

apparently, it was a much cleaner environment when people smoked on planes to what it is now, as the air is re-circulated.

so the person 15 rows in front of you who coughs and sneezes could be passing their germs on to you. where as if you were having a cig on a plane the air would be taken out of the craft completely. (yep, I'm a smoker lol )

Have the TV broadcasting finish at around midnight and not be glued to the TV in the early hours.

Watching Hammer horror films on a Friday night

Watch Central Weekend, a topical debate / discussion progamme, that was my favourite.

Having shops close at proper times, like on a Sunday and also close down for the christmas period, I think its terrible that people shop on boxing day, pure consumerism greed.

And no mobiles. I would have hated a mobile in my teenage years, it would have been torture waiting for boys to text me and getting upset if they didn't. As it was, if I met a boy at the disco on a friday night, I'd give the home phone out but I was ne ver upset that I wouldn't hear from them again cos I knew they would never get past my dad if they did phone

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

3 rings to let you know they had got home.

Managing to meet people at more or less the appointed time without having 6 texts/calls about it.

Just calling someone without sending a message to ask if it's ok to call.

I'd forgotten about the choke! Although did discuss double declutching and having to pump the brakes on the Morris the other day. They always seemed to drop out at the most inopportune moments but somehow still manage to work with a bit of pumping and shifting down the gears.

This technique also works with some men.
