"When you had to get off the sofa and actually physically change the channel on the TV, as remote controls weren't invented, and there was only 3 channels to choose from.

I wonder what men used to use to measure their cocks against before remotes were invented.

So scary I remember that too

On the same lines, the "annoyance" of recording an album onto a C90 and finding that the album was 46 minutes plus long!!

Then there was Soda Stream to make your own fizzy pop, not as nice as Corona though

Going to a top flight football match cost less than a pound (and that included bus fare there, the price of entry, a programme and a half-time Bovril).

In fact you didn't even need to book tickets in advance, just turned up, paid the man on the turnstile and in you went
