On the back of my post saying I miss old cinemas with swishy red velvet curtains and ice cream sellers in the interval, I'm thinking of other things I've not seen in a while.
Whatever happened to teasmades? My gran and grandad had one beside their bed and used it every day. |

Nearly everyone I know still drinks tea almost exclusively. I'm something of an oddity (surely not!) as a coffee drinker.
Plus you have to get out of bed for the posh coffee maker, unless you have a butler  |

Soda Streams were awesome. They are outrageously expensive now. I nearly fell over when I saw the prices  |
