Things from your childhood that would baffle younger people of today

Having to remember phone numbers, or create paper lists, because only upmarket landline phones had a number memory.

Lol. This was the 70s. Not the 90s 😜

Being slapped really hard by your parents for misbehaving in crowded public places.

Good TV, nowadays it seems full of crap.

And music.

Did it stop you misbehaving?

taking knives into school. it was just a normal thing to do. we had a fun game called chicken involving someone throwing a knife between your feet.

Likewise. And don't forget all those happy hours of whittling.

I don't think people are trying. My list might include:

An outside toilet (and my friend's had to be dug out by his father every few months, but then he did live in a house outside the village with no electricity and a well for water).

Only two TV channels, both in black and white.

The farthing, the half-crown and the threepenny bit - the latter a coin of real character.

Postal orders.

Being able to fill the car petrol tank for under £1 (mind you, £1 was worth £1 in those days).

Needing a bottle (yes, a bottle) of oil in the car to make sure you could complete the journey.

There was none of this jonny-come-lately Blockbuster nonsense. If you wanted to see a film it had to be at the cinema, and you had to watch the only one that was on that week and, depending on the buses, you probably had to see the second half first, leaving half-way through the next showing - hence the phrase 'this is where we came in'.

The strangest one of all, which I do not understand myself - liberty bodices, on young children of both sexes.

You are old AF.

I dont remember what they are called but collecting those 'leaves' (they are brown and don't quite look like leaves at all), split them open to stick them on top of your nose

i probaby make no sense
