"Blackberry phones. Back in year 7 everyone had a blackberry and only one guy had an iPhone. By year 11 everyone had either an iPhone or android." They killed themselves off with a massive outage in 2011  and smart phones took over with app-ability, such a shame, I went from blackberry to the original google phone with a slide out keyboard and then eventually an iPhone. | |||

Hazarding a guess toilet roll holders are/were a relatively new phenomenon for the masses. In the days of "outdoor loos" a toilet roll holder consisted of a hook on the wall holding yesterday's newspaper (not that I'm old enough to remember such a thing). My gut instinct is such holders had purely novelty value. | |||

"And noone has mentioned smoking, when you could literally smoke anywhere I remember my first job and the staff room; the room to eat but you walked in through a curtain of smoke from stalwarts who chain smoked at their desk, throughout the office and then whilst eating with no windows open. Mad to imagine that ever happening now Was at a retirement do for a colleague last week and someone was telling a similar story about our office. It's absolutely insane that was just normal then 😅 Felt like walking out on stars in your eyes! That, and on planes too! I remember coming back from Korea with work (late 90's), all the smokers had to sit at the back of the plane like naughty school kids!" Get outta my head please. Quit following me 🤣 | |||

" Do you mean holders for the spare rolls? Cos I’m older than you and our outdoor loo had a loo roll holder attached to the wall but no holder for spare rolls, granted. " I'm referring to the 40s/50s/60s when most of the working class population only had an outside toilet. There would have been no need for a spare toilet roll holder as the "toilet roll" would have consisted of yesterday's newspaper like that seen in "Hancock's Half Hour". An ornamental loo roll holder was probably seen as something quite bourgeois back then! | |||

An ornamental loo roll holder was probably seen as something quite bourgeois back then! " Well if the loo roll wasn’t there then there’s no need for a loo roll cover is there? Our working class household in the seventies only had an outside loo but we definitely used loo roll except when we didnt cos we’d run out and the shops were closed. But we didn’t have a doll shoved over a spare. Although auntie Nina (she wasnt my aunt and probably wasn’t called Nina) who lived the other end of the street had an inside loo upstairs and that had one of those dolls. And no newspaper. Maybe she was posh. She was definitely polish. I doubt she was Bourgeoise and she didn’t smoke Gauloises but she had a dog called bubbles and a tortoise. | |||

It was a fight to see who could go in the boot  | |||

"Portable black and white TVs - try explaining them to young folk, they'd think you was nuts
Must admit, the afore mentioned white dog shit really takes me back, and somehow makes me think of cars with great big sections of vinyl on the outside - Austin Princess I think they were called. "What was that white poo? Vinyl roof used to be an option,or on top of the range models of cars. | |||
