I remember when there was no internet.

I remember when there were only 4 tv channels and the telly went off at night and just beeped.

I remember when we used to go down the phone box & ring the operator on '0', tell her to get off the line cos there's a train coming or ask what colour her knickers were.

I remember when there was a chip van come round the estate and it wasn't a health and safety issue to have a mobile inferno with kiddies queuing outside it.

I remember when summer lasted forever and there were proper snowy christmases.

What do you remember?

I remember when we all rode chopper bikes.

I remember when dog poo was white.

I remember when a boy was cool if he carried his own bit of lino around with him!

What did happen to white dog poo, I've forgotten? And what was the lino for?

The lino was for break dancing (only the cool kids had their OWN lino)

I think white dog poo was the result of something in the dog food back then! Its disappearance is a mystery. I miss it!

My God, half the 'remembered' things on here only happened last Wednesday - Packet of fags 1/6 - you could buy woodbines in fives. Mars Bar 6d - if they had gone white 3d. One telly channel and it was on 5 to 6 then closed until 7 finished for the night at 10. A really big telly was 17 inch.
