FabSwingers.com forum: Things you don't see any more .

Just read a post in another thread that got me thinking. Now I don't make a point of looking for dog shite but it mentioned the white variety. Now that's something I haven't seen for years. Think it had something to do with the amount of chalky substance that used to go into dog food.

As time goes by certain things disappear off of the radar. The advent of the Internet has seen the demise of Gentleman's literature. I remember as a young lad finding porn mags in the woods. What makes you think "I haven't seen that for years"

Haha. A guilty pleasure of mine is bullseye on challenge. I don't think fashion started until the late 80's. Rubbish perms and stone washed denim.

Where I like, in Devizes, they still deliver the beer to the local pubs via horse and cart. Very quaint!

White chalky dog poo came from the bones people used to feed the dogs- calcium caused it but now people feed their dogs tin and dried food which hasn't got as much calcium in it- obviously as a bone is made up of calcium - why do I know this? It's worrying to be honest lol xx

We still have the milkman here. But honesty boxes have dwindled away from road sides. Still some going though. What about public water taps - they are less and less common.
