"When you could walk through the town centre without having to dodge skateboarders, cyclists and idiots too busy chatting on their phones to watch where they are going!"

"Growing up in a house with no central heating, thick blankets on the beds and frost on the inside of the windows in winter "
That was my house in Nottingham up until 2007! And when looking to buy up here 2 years ago saw one with no central heating - they are still out there! |

New plumbing, rewired then the radiators went in
Bliss!
Back in the day
Having to get up to alter the volume, change chanel.
Getting a VHS when I was about 11.
The 'remote control' was actually on a wire.
I went head first through a glass door after tripping over it! |

The phone was attached to the wall, in the big room and had a dial on the front. Not that you ever heard it ring cos you were playing out with your mates or in later years on the street corner drinking (insert cheap alcohol of choice) and trying to show off to someone you fancied, ahh, some things never change |

"I remember many years ago as a smoker a pack of 10 was a pound.... Thankfully that awful habit was kicked into touch! Wonder what they are now
£10 for a pack of 20 x"
That's a pricey habit |
