Making those 32 photographic opportunities on holiday count - because there was no way mum would have bought me a second spool!
Aww yes, happy days 
And waiting aaaages for your photies to come back 
Only to find that 50% of them hadn't come out 
Yes! Or someone was out of shot / had no head
First time I ever saw a 'mobile' phone was in the 70's (abt 1976).
My uncle was the chauffeur to the leader of the then GLC, Horace Cutler and he drove a gold Ford Granada with this bloody great monstrosity sitting just above the handbrake
Good ole County Hall!
That be the one

After school on Fridays, I remember always arranging with my mates to meet at the station on a Sat night before going to the clubs. Friday was always date night - Saturday was group hug night if you'd had a bad date/been stood up etc. Used to listen to Greg Edwards Soul Spectrum on Capital Radio whilst wallowing in the bath getting ready - and KNEW that everyone else was doing exactly the same, getting ready for a night out.
We never phoned each other, just took it for granted that the arrangements stood unless otherwise notified. And we COPED.
Character making stuff 
We've got boxes and boxes in the loft of every phone going. Mr C used to test them pre going on the shelves. Well actually he didn't - I used to test them for idiot proofness.
I was gifted a thumb size, mother of pearl with 5 diamond studs mobile phone from Motorola as a thank you
I bet that's a bugger to text on!
Ha, you bet it was
Funnily enough video calling was in by then and I had no use for the phone.
But it was and is pretty. Got a watch to match too (also unused).

Yes! Who would go on holiday without their phone or tablet now?

Me, I leave my troubles behind when I go on holiday, they will still be waiting when I get home.

It was always Pete Young's Soul Cellar for me!

My (1st) wedding photos were shite due to some technical failure - aka the photographer.
I take at least 5 shots when I use my camera phone these days (am crap at photography - just like my wedding snapper ) I figure I must at least get ONE decent photo out of my trigger finger frenzy.

He went to Smooth and/or Jazz fm didn't he?
Remember Steve Walsh and his love of the Fat Back Band? *sigh*
See now, I wonder who is going to invent glasses that you can wear, that when you 'blink' takes a photo?

I don't go on holiday so they're with me always, but hey ho

Come to Spain! The mobile facilities are precarious to say the least

That could be dangerous

Captured images from pre 2005 are surely going to seem scarce in the future - given this ability to snap endlessly?

What a character RIP
Pre the instant gratification era, you had to wait to next day to talk about tv programmes - eg the latest Young Ones or Spitting Image would be the talk of our class.
Now the minute its happened we're sharing - mostly slagging stuff to bits!!! 
Photo booths remain much the same... oddly!
Yes indeed.
And by now I've maintained the escaped convict look to a T.

I don't even dare to google to see how long ago he passed.
Golden Days 
The photos may all be 'on line', but, will they all be in a crusty album to pass down to be viewed in a quiet corner?

I have one somewhere - well a strip of 4 actually - i'm aged 7/8 wearing a wing collared shirt with little aeroplane patterns (ironically) all over it - the '70's remain hard to beat when it comes to ugly clothing!

Crymplene!. I had a pink 'puff sleeved shirt' that I loved I always wore it with a navy blue tank top and a navy blue flared crymplene skirt with two thin red bands around the bottom! I've got a photie somewhere. If I can do it I'll post it
