You could take an empty bottle of lemonade back to the shop and get 5p for it.
Bookmakers had no T.V screens.
You had to lock each car door by hand.

When you went to the cinema there was several short films, a B movie, an intermission and then the main feature.

Suitcases didn't have wheels at the bottom and you had to carry them by the handle.

Every weekend football match used to kick off at 3pm on a Saturday.
There used to be a coal-mining industry in the UK.
Teachers used to be allowed to hit their pupils at school.
Dennis The Menace regularly got hit with a slipper in the Beano.
Aeroplanes used to have seats in the same cabin for smoking and non-smoking passengers.
Everybody used to get free dental care via the NHS.

We used to have to wait in line to use the public telephone.
Our first telephone number was 351. That was it 3 numbers. You had to answer it by saying " Hello Hodnet 351".
Forgot about that, we had one too. We had a "party line" shared with the next door neighbours. If you picked up the phone when they were on theirs, you could hear their call, and you couldn't make a call at the same time.My dad was constantly annoyed at how often they were on the phone. |

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Bread vans would come round every day. If you weren't in, they left your regular order on the ground in the porch, even if your regular order was an unwrapped loaf.

Kids actually used to quite happily walk 1 or 2 miles to school at an early age so you could actually drive past a school at peak times without weaving in and out of 40 range rovers parking illegally outside the school gates.
