As I'm feeling like a sentimental nostalgic old fool tonight apologies for keeping this going into part 2 .. But I'm getting all misty eyed reminiscing .. 
- - -
So many great things from my childhood no longer exist or are very rarely used now - and the world is a lesser place for it.
I'm thinking Spangles (gone), VHS videos and the tracking control to improve the wobbly picture (rarely used), Evel Knievel stunt bike toys (sadly discontinued..)
What other things have disappeared from our lives?
Bonus points for the first person to say 'white dog poo'  |

Ok I'll start .. Warm quarter pint full fat milk bottles in schools - complete with straws to pop through the silver foil.
And talking of which, the good old milk delivery person who used to leave the milk on your doorstep and unless you got there quickly it would curdle in the heat or birds would peck through the lids
(Actually milk is still delivered like this in my village but uptake is low  ) |

The tv on a trolley they used to roll in to watch schools tv as a kiddie - that used to take about 5 minutes to 'warm up' before the picture came on properly.
I think I had my first sex education programme on one of those - with a heavily 70's bearded fella and heavily 70's bushed lady if I recall properly  |

Proper old pubs where old geezers drank in the bar and the young uns and the ladies drank in the lounge. Oh, and a point was always a penny cheaper in the bar. |

Tape players - donkey kong consoles - smokey pubs packed with live music - Madame JoJo's - G.L.C fireworks - but most of all a lack of health and safety which was great |

Sorry but I had to go Google the video of that advert. Too much retro awesomeness not to re-live at least one more time!

And if we're doing Kia Ora adverts how can we NOT do that other great lost beverage of our times ..
Way down deep in the middle of the Congo,
a hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango.
He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango.
The rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo"
Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo.
The python picked the passion fruit, the marmoset the mandarin.
The parrot painted packets, that the whole caboodle landed in.
So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle
They all prefer the sunny funny one they call Um Bongo!
