Walking to a fast food outlet or chippy, looking at the menu and putting an order in - carrying it home quickly so it'd still be warm.....
telling everyone to warm the plates and put a brew on .....
sigh ....... |

I also feel nostalgic about the time I first went to college. The feeling of freedom, independence and standing on the edge of my future is something that I've never felt since. I was 18, it was 1974 and vodka was cheap  |

Walking round to a friend's or relative's house.
There were no phones, no e mails and very few buses.
We had to go and TALK FACE 2 FACE.
The upside was we are good at walking. The downside was that there were far more 'unexpected' visitors pre mobile phones. |

Downloading a full album off of limewire (bad times if the songs weren't really what they were labeled as)
Getting to rent a Ps1/2 game for the weekend. |

Sherbet pips cough candy rhubarb and custard pineapple cubes and pontefract cakes x"
There’s still the odd traditional sweet shop that sells them. I got some sherbet pips in Windsor t’other day!  |

Old busses that used to have a distinctive smell and would get the tits revved out of them to get to 25.
I actually miss smoking in pubs too even though I don’t smoke.
Feeling safe as a child when I played out… I don’t feel that my kids are in any way safe these days.
Proper petrol smell… pre catalytic converter…. Running on carbs.
White dog poo! |

"Maybe one for plus 50’s.
Playing on my Sinclair spectrum 48K
Waiting 5 minutes for a game, on cassette to load, only for it to crash at the very end. "
Typing in a programme from a magazine, line by line, and it not working.  |

You can find scanned copies of those magazines (Sinclair Programs I think it was called!) online.
I’ve still got my Spectrum in the roof, so tempted to get it out one day and re-input those programs! |
