When you could get sweets and chocolate bars for pennies.
I'm so old I remember Page 2
I've still got a little fat television in my bedroom. *hugs it*

Does it just show junk TV?

When TV had only 2 channels. 2 only, BBC (not BBC1) and ITV
Welly rash
Jumble sales
Licorice roots
Quote: sootyj @ March 5 2013, 12:19 PM GMTWhen comic relief was funny
I can't 
Spending farthings
Counting the sacks as the coalman tipped them into the coalhouse
When dustmen came down the yard and picked up the metal bins
The long bamboo pole on trolley buses
Vacuum operated windscreen wipers 
When cigarettes didn't kill you yet.
I can just about remember pound notes.
When bog paper was shiny and had Izal Medicated printed on it and it just skidded over the klingons with no effect.
freddo frogs were 10p not 20p
Woolworths
shorter adverts on the telly not 5minutes long
Taping songs off the radio onto casettes.
It took two of us to carry a Wagon Wheel out of the shop . .

On a Sunday when they played the top 30 and Alan Freeman was the dj.
When K-Tel brought out compilation LP's of the current *hits* that featured the actual artists, rather than dodgy cover versions that you used to hear in Pizzaland. The (dodgy cover versions) album sleeve always featured a groovy model in hotpants - they still turn up in charity shops.
When there were "AA" and "X" certificate films.
When you either bought the "TV Times", or the "Radio Times", nothing else was available.
When the FA Cup meant something.
When Manchester United were relegated!
When walkie-talkies cost a fortune and had a range of 50 metres (line of sight).
When all we had to drink was Just Juice or Corporation Pop (tap water).
