Never see anyone scrolling through the big phones books looking for your friends number and ringing them from a land line. The days before mobile technology |

"Jumpers fer goalposts
Red & white stripey poles outside a barbers
Bobbies (usually the overweight ones) on bicycles
Fish & chips wrapped in newspaper
"
Just seen jumpers for goalposts.... My son is off playing footy with his mates...and our local chippy serves chips on newspaper ....and we've got a barbers with a red and white pole type thing outside
No bobbies on bicycles but a few on the beat in town today
Never thought about the place being a throw back to days gone by  |

I haven't seen a swarm of red admiral butterflies. There was a bush in my parent's garden that used to attract hundreds of them but now I'm lucky to see a few  |

You don't see the mobile fish and chip vans anymore either, they used to drive around the streets like ice cream vans.
Or the pop man, selling pop in the old glass bottles, cream soda anyone? |

"Never see those little light blue 3 wheeled disabled cars with the sliding side door anymore. Used to see them in the 80's all the time.
Because they all have Nissan Jukes now. "
They were banned in 2003.

Anybody ever been to a place called Bilston in the Midlands? Go there on market day and you'll see the ladies with rain hoods on. Also they are very aggressive! Get in there way and your in for the high jump. Makes the youth look like prefects. |

The lack of white dog poo is partly the result of people no longer getting bones for their dogs from the local butcher and partly because the poo is cleared up quicker, and therefore a symptom of the decaying state of the local high street / better quality sanitation.
So there!  |

1978 was a bloody good year. Went to my first rock gigs that year. It was one of the most memorable years of my life for a host of reasons 
Maybe the town is a throwback to the 70s......gawd knows what it was like in the 70s - pre-WWII |

We have a few fish and chip vans around Thursday through the weekend. Probably a hundred years old tradition. |

Athena poster shops on the high street.
Apparently last ones with the brand closed in 2014, although original retailer folded in 1995.
I remember as a kid them being ubiquitous. Another internet casualty.
I assume there are still poster sales during university freshers week. Or else how do halls of residence get covered in posters? I'd hate to wait for an internet order, how else would I demonstrate my cool music tastes to the girls in that critical first week?
