how old are you?

[Bobbisox]

Older Than Dirt Quiz:
Count all the ones that you remember, not the ones you were told about.
Ratings at the bottom.

1. Sweet cigarettes
2. Coffee shops with juke boxes
3. Home milk delivery in glass bottles (we must be one of the few who still use this service).
4. Party lines on the telephone
5. Newsreels before the movie
6. TV test patterns that came on at night after the last show and were there until TV shows started again in the morning.. (There were only 2 channels [if you were fortunate])
7. Pea shooters
8. 33 rpm records
9. 45 RPM records
10. Hi-fi's
11. Metal ice trays with levers
12. Blue flashbulb
13. Cork popguns
14. Wash tub wringers

If you remembered 0-3 = You’re still young
If you remembered 3-6 = You are getting older
If you remembered 7-10 = Don't tell your age
If you remembered 11-14 = You're positively ancient!

I must be 'positively ancient' but those memories are some of the best parts of my life.

[micmak]

My memories of childhood are lino on the floor. clipping rugs in front of the fire, and ice on the inside of the windows in the winter. For those who don't know what a clipping rug is they were made out of old coats and a broken dolly peg.

[cazzz1975]

we used to rent a video recorder

I scored 6 :o

[woofgang]

I remember hand mangles and not having a fridge, TV or record player (Hi Fi before Hi Fi) We did get a radiogram though that was as large as a small car.
I guess that makes me older than dinosaurs??

[Mamyalynne]

We called em Rag rugs MM, and remember getting dressed under the bed covers LOL

[tinkie]

Oh God, I am officially old :-((

[woofgang]

hot water bottles. No bathroom, a tin bath in front of the fire. Open fires as a necessity, not a lifestyle choice.

[tamborine]

[karenmac60]

Ummmm, I'm older than you and I only remember 6! Then again, maybe you were just posher than me - we never had ice at all, or a phone, so maybe these things were around, just not in my house ;)

[jno]

[shaneystar2]

All of them apart from the phone and the ice tray .We never had a phone or a fridge .
I remember the old mangle in the scullery like it was yesterday and the tele from Radio Rentals :)

[Lie-in King]

My head's always saying it's younger than my body, which feels older than it is...
