The Good Old Days.

[Georgiesmum]

Does anyone else sometimes wish we could go back to the days when you went to your corner shop for six egges and when you cooked them for breakfast they were nearly always double yolkers,the bacon came with rind on, that you cooked then cut off for the wild birds, and if you wanted to make a phone call you used a red telephone box, or is it just me? Im sure it was a much slower pace of life too.

What we didn't have in them days we didn't miss but I would not like to go back to them or I would miss all my mod cons lol.

My mum did bed and breakfast so we would go gathering blackberries so she could make countless pots of blackberry and apple jam.

Remember it, yes, certainly,
Want to go back to it, NO WAY,
Dementia has not set in yet, as far as I know.

[Georgiesmum]

Sorry. mallyh

[Old_Geezer]

Rarely saw a double yolker.

Yes, the way they steal the rind from bacon to sell separately, is very annoying. On the rare times I want to buy some I never can find what I want. And for sure it never used to go to the wild birds, they can go buy their own !

The public telephone thing is in many ways sad, as not everyone has a mobile on them; and what if the signal is down. But I think it was inevitable once mobiles became so ubiquitous.

[Georgiesmum]

I am one of the few people that hasnt got a mobile and i would never want one either.

[EvianBaby]

Why wouldn't you ever want one?

[mallyh]

we made do with two tin cans and a piece of string lol

[Baldric]

A real-life Luddite, wow!
;o)

[Georgiesmum]

I wouldnt want a mobile because i am nearly always indoors due to me being registered blind. If i need to make a phone call at my local hospital to call a taxi to get me home again, i just pay them sixty pence. and they do it for me.
