Yes, I remember them well. We didn't have a phone when I was young. If you were lucky enough, you would know a friend or neighbour who would let you use theirs. I had to save up my pocket money or even use my lunch money from high school so that I could call my boyfriend, who lived a few towns...

Yes, my mum had loads of buttons and zips. I've still got some of them. I love to run my hands through them. They're very tactile. Don't think my kids will want them, though.

Cash is King, always will be. I'm old school and was brought up being told to save and pay for everything up front. No tick, or afterpay as it's called now. All my bills and groceries are paid by card or direct debit but any extras are paid by cash that I've worked hard to save.

Horse and cart deliveries I remember it well. I was always sent out to get the eggs and pay for them, as the delivery man liked to chat and my Aunty never had time for that. He was also a bit sweet on her and she wasn't interested. He would hold her hand when she tried to give him the money and...

The 70's were the best time of my life. Young and carefree, not a worry in the world. Wish my kids could have had the same experiences.

Yes, my Mum and Dad had one and it was passed on to me. Wish I could remember what I did with it.🤔

Very good 👏

Yep, me too. My husband gave me mine when I was 16. I've had it 50yrs now. I remember he took me to a jewellers shop window and said, I could pick any ring from this particular tray. They were £5. I was so chuffed. Made me feel very special.

Yep ! I remember leaving home in the dark to walk to school. Rain hail or shine. We would have to take our coats off and drape them over the big radiators around the class. If the snow was particularly deep, our shoes and socks would have to come off as well. We would carry another pair of socks...

Something has obviously happened between these 2 girls. It's a bit odd to turn up to a party, uninvited with an over abundance of gifts. The Mum was even odder to encourage it. This was planned, as the party didn't just happen on the spur of the moment. The party girl should have been straight...

Travel clock Yes, I have my Mum and Dad's. They took it every time they went on holiday. I'm pretty sure they brought it over with us from the UK when we came over 50yrs ago.

Yes, I agree. He was loved and is missed by many. Leave him and his family be. The anniversary of his passing will be hard enough for his wife and kids, without all this speculative rubbish. RIP Jock.

Puleese !

Hey guys, what about " If you can't say anything nice and constructive, don’t say anything at all "

My husband and I are in our late 60's and although he does wears hearing aids, he still doesn't hear that well. I've tripped and gone over a couple of times, nothing major, just my own clumsiness but had to sit a few minutes as he couldn't hear me. I worry that as time goes on, it may happen...
