20.5? here : never owned a pager or replied to a swingers ad by post. And I’m scoring 0.5 on the mobile phone battery one as it wasn’t the huge brick phone but I did have an old chunky phone back in the day.. |

"Are there any prizes because looks like I’m the serious contender for the top prize? "
All except a few.
The only reason is, I was growing up abroad.
Where's my old man badge then?
I also watched black and white TV.
Most people used the only public phone outside the Post office.
It didn't even had a dial.
My UAZ SUV was 33 years old during my national service in 2001.
Average communist country in the 80's.

Hungary and there was goulash communism there already.
Lighter than in most countries liberated (occupied) by the Soviet Union.
Why???

23 - 4 = 19 (probably par for my age I expect).

Actually it's possibly 24 if you had a Betamax for a bit. Takes me to 20.
I have a feeling I took a bottle back to a pub once once too come to think of it. Pretty gross. pt |

These are the only ones I haven't done. Although I lived in a flat with no bath and I used to take bottles back to the shop to get 25p.

"23
The only one I missed out on was the Atari
Which, if you don't mind me saying, you were probably too old at the time
(Forgive me, Tarkus!)"
I would imagine that is the case so you are forgiven |

Was too young to take bottles back to pub but did take them to a shop.
Had classic cars so they had ch0kes.
Have a house abroad with an outside toilet - it has an inside toilet too.

15 phew thats a relief but mainly due to some of the things being far to modern for me lol. Those old dial phones still work on the system at the moment my daughter has one, had a guy working for me a few years ago and he had to use a customers phone, they had one and he didn't know how to use it . I still have the outdoor WC would never be allowed to use the indoor one. |

I haven't:
Had a satsuma in a stocking (wtf is that about).
Used Betamax or rented even though it was superior to VHS.
Replied to a swinger's ad by post.
Taken a glass drinks bottle back for money (I did take plastic ones back to the supermarket in Holland where they returned a Gilder)
How old am I? |

No games on Atari, never had to go for a shit down the garden but....boarding school and toilet doors you could limbo under and look over the top at 4 foot 10 pmsl!, that scores a 2 I think!
Somehow never bothered with a Walkman and didn't reply to a swingers ad as I was in afore mentioned boarding school, all male and as such I was too busy oggling the Matrons arse in her tight red skirt.....
As such, I have scored quite high and enjoyed the good old days.
Now the Matron, did I mention her? Ruined me for life. Her red skirt, the dark nylons, I guess a denier 15 and black high heels, wow....
Is anyone still listening..... .oh, lol.
No one is gonna admit to turning off the TV and seeing the little white dot in the middle... something to do with an afterglow from the tube.
Oh, and no remote. Ariel balanced on books etc.
And what about taking Polaroids of the love of your life or driving ya Ford Eßcort down a "Lovers Lane" after 23.00 hrs and steaming up the windows alongside the others?
My point being we didn't go dogging, it didn't exist. We just shagged in our cars and threw house keys in bowls....no one under 30 will understand going down to the neighbours at number 12 and throwing keys in a bowl...

Never owned a car with a chøke, didn’t have an outside toilet, nor replied to a swingers ad by pigeon post. Didn’t take a Betamax to Blockbusters, but a relative owned the local ‘video library’ and there was still a small Betamax section up until the mid-80s. |
