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

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

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






:-D

Getting older.........

When everything either dries up or leaks!

:-(

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 " :-)

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. :-)

LOL

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

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

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

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.

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

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

When your wife says put that away :-S

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

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

Pig bins! They were chained to a lamp post and the lorry collected the waste food about once a week.

On my 21st birthday, a man at work told me "one day, you will realise you're getting old, because you will say 'Oh, doesn't that policeman look young!' "

He was right, that happened about 20 years ago lol

Now I feel ancient....... a couple of years ago I saw a little girl dressed up in a police uniform, and she had a gun!!

:-(

Oh, alright :-( :-( :-( 52/52

Plus another. My grandma used to have a tiny silver coin in her purse which was called a "mite". It was smaller that a silver joey and was worth half a farthing. She kept it for a "rainy day". :-D

Oh., and Wolves winning the FA Cup :-D

Can't go back as far as some.

But it is nice to remember things. Mine are:

"I need you" by N-DUBZ. Faser was my fave.
Lovely Chico - it's Chico time
And Gnarls Barkley

Happy memories. Hope we will all have many more :-S

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Oh remember every single one plus, must be really really old :-|

Those were the days :-D
