General Chat

radio,s run on acumerlater,s which cost sixpence to charge at the shop.

One of the good old threads. can remember many of these.

When your wife says put that away :-S

Because she's too stiff to put shopping away, David

In our house, I'm the one who's always stiiff. :-D ;-)

if you remember the "dustbin"

it was a galvanised steel bin, and a Dustman carried it on his shoulder to the dust cart.from outside your front door.
if it was a bit heavy, his mate gave him a hand up with it!!

in earlier days, the dustcart was pulled by a "norse"

and a lorry would come and swap the full cart with a empty one.....,


when nearly all men wore a cheesecutter flat 'at.

You know you are old when "your wife says..let's go upstairs and make love...and you reply...I can't do both" :-)

LOL

get halfway up the stairs, and think..........

that was a good idea............what was it?

Linoleum. I used to sell it in the local Co-op when I was at college (evening work).

I loved the smell of it and the strange, but sometimes lovely patterns. I even became involved in measuring and fitting it and am still a dab hand at laying the modern (and much inferior) Vinyl.

Trivia: The name comes from Lin (seed) Oleum (Oil). and the other main component is cork, mostly from Portugal or Spain. :-)

Remember most of the list unfortunately. No on second thoughts wouldn't have wanted to miss any of it.

I can remember running for a bus and jumping on the back while it was moving then getting off when the driver slowed down in traffic.. All in stiletto heels. Can't even stand up in a pair now. Have kept a pair to prove to my g.daughters that I've been there, done that lol.

Really know it when I find myself saying. " now in my day " :-)

Getting older.........

When everything either dries up or leaks!

:-(

Oh dear I remember all of these and brought back happy memories






:-D

When shop assistants stopped calling me Miss and started calling me Madam

Fish & Chips :-D Something like 1/3d (is that how we wrote 15 old pence?) :-S

Wrapped up in 4 pages of the Daily Sketch soaked in vinegar. :-D
