One of my work colleagues was telling me how his first school allowed them to watch a football match in class back in 2002, felt so depressed, I was 23 at the time and whilst we were in a sports shop (name not mentioned) to buy an England shirt I had to explain to him who wore them in 82/90/96 so that he could picture them in his head from archived footage he had seen.

you rented TVs rather than buying one.

Only 1 person on the street had a telephone and everybody else gave it as an emergency contact number.

The post office delivered everything.

Buses didnt run until 11am on a sunday

Buses stopped running at 11.30pm every night except sunday when the last bus was 10.30pm

Pubs in Birmingham closed at 10.30pm every night and were shut between 2.30pm and 6pm (7pm on a sunday)

If you asked for a coffee in a pub you would probably be thrown out.

I remember when me and my brothers used to stay at our grandparents house who lived in the new forest. The 3 of us could go out in that forest all day (grandma would pack us a picnic for lunch) we never worried that something terrible would happen to us. And as long as we were back for dinner time they didn't worry either. I couldn't imagine letting my son do that now, to many horror stories.

I miss the days when you could actually sit and have a conversation and nobody was distracted by their phone.
