Things we lose soon

Topics

Wot everyday things do you think will soon pass into 'nostalgia'?
Things we are simply not needing - never use ?
We discard so much - wots next?

I think ..... the telephone box is next - we all hav mobiles and the red phone box has long, long gone (Although the village next to me still has one!)

they go inside your back door for mice to wipe their feet, so as not to trail mud through your sitting room.

Yes Renton, but at least it was frowned upon....

Now we have all given up...

Unless spellchecker corrects a mistake, they get left in!

I'm a bit of an anorak for spelling, and have been known to correct mistakes in burger king, in front of people watching and the staff!!

You can't even buy a VCR anymore! An acquaintance told me a few weeks ago that her son (age 7) had no idea what a videotape was!

Where I live we're losing pavements - so many of them are being dedicated to car parking spaces for residents

It's murder waiting at a bus stop and having traffic both sides of you at the same time

Definately house phones (landlines), some mobile tarrifs work out cheaper than using say BT and paying for line rental....my parents hardly use the phone but their phone bill is over £50 per quarter, most of which is charges and not the cost of calls....

Tut tut. You agree with TGL about spelling and grammar, then mis-spell DEFINITELY!

My parents have an old red phone box in their courtyard - dad bought it for next to nothing but it will be worth a mint when they really become obsolete.

We still have a rag and bone man round here but like someone else said its a bloke in a van - ours a flat bed van and a right Pikey! He rummages through skips and all!

Hand-written letters. Years ago I used to send and receive letters from my mum and sister, as we all live far away from each other, and it was always exciting getting those letters. Now we just phone each other instead.

She says, The free version has temporarily reverted to invite only, they have recently begun a mobile application and it has caused a surge in new users, It is not expected to stay as invite only for very long and should go to being free again soon. Hope this helps.

Sadly - very sadly - the letter T is used less and less.
That lovely sound may be replaced by the glottal stop.
