Do you know why dog poo was white? ..

The milky bars where on them

It was the bone quantity in BARF diet (Bones And Raw Foods) so dogs would be fed a selection of raw meat, eggs, offal for their meals which included uncooked bones which break (cooked bones splinter) so the dogs poop would be smaller and paler than the poop some of us stand in today, it was also less smelly. Dogs were also healthier, these days with dry dog food, dogs get sicker more, there’s an over abundance of shit and it generally stinks, it’s also cheaper and you don’t need an extra freezer to store it in

"Airplane armrest ashtrays filled to the brim with cigarette butts"

Oh yeah! And smoking carriages on trains... And and smoking in shops and pubs and restaurants and buses... Getting home reeking of cigarettes after travelling anywhere or going anywhere.. Those were the days my friend

"The pop man. Selling bottles of soft drink from the lorry, giving you a refund on the returned bottles.

Kids playing out in the street.

People having respect for each other.

My parents had a newsagent and my dad caught some little scrots nicking the returns bottles from out the back to bring back for a refund, they got a good hiding! Don’t see returnable bottles or kids getting a good hiding anymore.

"Hedgehogs .

We have them living in our garden. We have very old hedges in both front and back (planted in 1919 when the houses were built). Too many houses have uprooted them and put in fences but we shall be keeping the hedges.
