Smoking on the tube was still allowed until around 1984 I think. I sometimes had no choice but to get into a smoking carriage if the others were rammed but there was nothing more disgusting and suffocating.

Sadly they didn't ban smoking in the stations as well until after the King's Cross disaster.

Cans with proper rings pulls that subsequently covered the floor of every high Street.

We have time travelled back to the 80s... pubs closing in the afternoon and people (at least in my circle) greying naturally.

"Leaving the bath water for other family members "

Brought back the terrible memory of staying away at my friends holiday apartment with his family (yes you'd expect they were well to do).

Got back from the beach and realised all the family were using the same bath water.

"Would you like to use the water too?" I was asked.

No thanks I only ever shower

Still haunts me to this day!

To have a cassette recorder with a soft pause button in order to avoid that tell tale noise at the end of the recording. Making mixtapes for girls.
