Toys were made of wood not plastic and didn't ned batteries
You had to get up walk to the TV to change channels
Your play list was made of records stacked on a spindle
Listening to others phone calls on your party line
Telephones had dials
Clothes were dried outside
Milk was delivered
Footballers played in black boots
Green shield stamps
Processed food was a ready plucked chicken
Most women didn't know how to drive (nothing changed there then)
Going to the picture meant 2 films
Only one screen at the pictures instead of seeing numerous mobile phone screens
Fast food was a sandwich
People actually talked instead of tweeting or texting
Every bus had a conductor
A Chinese Chippy was a carpenter from Shanghai
When you bought things using cash not plastic
Having a bike was deemed as being posh
Petrol was sold in gallons and it was 30p a gallon (6.6p/L)
Radial tyres
Coffee came in a bottle

Any more anyone?

When you still think the people of an entire country are evil due to a war that ended 70 years ago?

cinema's showed a boring short film at the start
only 3 channels on tv
only about 4 live football matches per year
"there's a saying in football Liverpool are never more dangerous than when they've just conceded a goal"
Liverpool the dominant force in football
racist jokes on tv
gas fires
Our best footballers went to Italy or Spain for a year to make money
Only Yorkshiremen played cricket for Yorkshire
MANSFIELD FINISHED AHEAD OF US IN THE LEAGUE AND IT WASNT SEEN AS A MIRACLE:)
Dr Who was in 4 episodes of 25 minutes each

When was the last time you saw a patch of a grass, with a no ball games sign.. And young lads playing football on it? Too busy playing Fifa on the consoles! And we wonder why we struggle to produce talented footballers? There lies your answer!

[whittman]

Only 2 channels in black and white on tv

the national anthem at the end of programmes on the bbc

bbc2 starting in 625 lines

99% of matches starting at 3pm on a Sat afternoon

the novelty of friday night football

Pop Band The Monkees Cards you could collect in Bubble gum packs

The likes of Up Pompeii and Love Thy Neighbour were allowed on tele

Old Fashioned Wireless made by Bush

Jublees ...Think that's what they were called ...Orange squash frozen in to a Pyramid

Being an ABC " Minor " on Saturday morning

A woman getting kidnapped at Ault Hucknall

When you could save stickers off Robertson Jam pots for a Gollywog badge


and football wise:

World Cup Willie

Ibrox Disaster

Hearing about 100000 Villa fans singing 90 minutes before a game at Saltergate from a house near Highfield Pub

Outfield players wearing 2-11

Players wearing no clothing under kits ( except possibly underwear )

Nobody played music when a goal went in

Jamie Redknapp wasnt even thought about

Not really, if you didn't know any different it was great. I grew up in the 70's and spent all my spare time playing outside and getting dirty, cut, scratched and grazed with my mates and it was excellent and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Cheese cloth shirts

3 channels does sound limiting, but there was no +1's, no shopping channels, not so many repeats, no channels dedicated to God awful foreign cack, and the cup final really meant something. Three channels seemed great back then, sports night and mid week sports special were great.

I'm not old by any means (26) but when I'm watching kids programmes with my daughter I make a point of watching fireman Sam with her, how times have changed from the original version.
