Hovering over the “play / record” buttons on your tape recorder between 4pm and 7pm on a Sunday on Radio 1, hoping to cut out the DJ (Tommy Vance or Bruno Brookes) when a song you liked came on…
Or pulling out the ch0ke lever for 5 minutes when starting your car in the morning.. 
What else Fabsters? Let’s perplex the young ‘uns on here!  |

CDs.
And to play CDs in the car you needed a tape adaptor.
And that computer games could also be on tape. Which you had to pay at the right volume. And took 29 mins to load. |
