Can you name anything that youngsters of today won't know?

don't forget the milkman in his electric vehicle (they will never catch on )

Somebody already mentioned the milkman and his milk float..... but I think they still exist in some part of the country.... but yeah, difficult to forget those times

That was back when I thought wrestling was a sport.

Standing up for the National Anthem at the end of a film at the Cinema. Had I not experienced this myself, I'd find it hard to believe. I can last remember it happening in the 60s, though I'm not sure when the practice was discontinued.

Health & Safety outlawed the practice in 1972,, because there were too many people getting injured in the rush to get out before it started.

Being chased out of the park at night by the park keeper who wanted to lock up,.....
When traffic laws applied to cyclists,....
Little red booklets called, "Driving Licences".....
The difference between "have", and "of",....
Tottenham and Liverpool winning the League,....

Benny Hill perhaps? She was my wife's milkman back in the day.

Well remember shivering my way round housing estates in the dark of winter to catch silent milk floats with their lights turned out to conserve the batteries. Between them and the newspaper delivery boys on bikes with no lighting the streets were like whispering desth. We had more accidents around 5/7 am than during rush hour.

How about having to get off your butt and walk across the room to change the channel on the tele, and then fiddle with the fine-tuning knob on the channel-changer to get a marginally better reception?

Being able to enjoy a smoke INSIDE the pub. Night before the ban some friends and myself managed to fill the local with cigar smoke, so bad they had to open the doors

...Since given up and detest smoking but not as much as the “nanny state”

 

[Blademonkey]

Being able to smoke on the top deck of a bus! In fact you could smoke just about anywhere apart from in church at one time, how times have changed.

Was smoking on aeroplanes ever a thing? ...It must have been

 

[Blademonkey]

That sounds great! Was smoking on aeroplanes ever a thing? ...It must have been

Yes I think you could once apon a time, you could even have a smoke from your hospital bed once!
