You wish you still saw rickets and polio?

With you on mittens on string though, although it was elastic round my way, great fun pulling them and letting them ping!!

And sculleries...what a wonderful word that is - guess they'd be called utility rooms now

Go carts from pram wheels were brilliant! No brakes, a piece of string to 'steer' with, broken arms and legs everywhere!

Suffolk - East Anglia

Going into every red phone box whilst cycling past, then pressing button 'B'. 1 in 10 chance of 4 pennies coming out.

Finding and taking bottles back to the shop and getting the deposit 4d back. When times were hard we waited until dark, went round to the back of the shop where the old bottles were stored, taking them and then going into the shop to get the deposit back.

Your home being just that, not an ‘investment ‘, when a room was a ...room in said home, not a ‘space’.

When things lasted physically or didn’t have built in obsolescence ‘ we no longer maintain that’.

When everything in the house wasn’t capable of being connected to everything else, because my fridge needs to speak to my front doorbell...ooops sorry entry system.

When an ordinary person working an ordinary job could afford an ordinary house.
