When you had to get off the sofa and actually physically change the channel on the TV, as remote controls weren't invented, and there was only 3 channels to choose from.
I wonder what men used to use to measure their cocks against before remotes were invented.

"Borrowing LPs from friends at school and having to set up microphones in front of the speakers to record onto tape..and having to start again when your mum burst into the room telling you to turn it down"
On the same lines, the "annoyance" of recording an album onto a C90 and finding that the album was 46 minutes plus long!! |

Going to a top flight football match cost less than a pound (and that included bus fare there, the price of entry, a programme and a half-time Bovril).
In fact you didn't even need to book tickets in advance, just turned up, paid the man on the turnstile and in you went |
