I remember putting the flat batteries in the fire half to warm them up and give them a little bit of a charge …
But only came from white dogs …

I was my mum and dad's remote control.
Only had to switch between BBC and ITV as those were the only channels available.

Using a slide rule because pocket calculators weren't yet invented.
Programming a computer using the Cobol language with punched cards.
Sending telexes because fax machines weren't yet a thing.
No Japanese vehicles on sale in the UK.

When you got chippy chips wrapped in newspaper for 20p.
When you could buy a loosie cigarette with a match from the sweet shop.
When the Alpine man came delivering fizzy drinks with 2p back on the empties.
When there was always a pair of shoes tied at the laces hanging over your telephone wire.
When you could buy a Tomos moped out of the Marshal Ward Catalogue on the weekly.

Yes Peter, we could not only buy fags but we could buy fireworks and go and let off bangers and rockets around the village. For example, bangers in post boxes. No we never did that, nope it didn’t happen.
EDIT, just remembered, putting bangers in spokes of bike wheel and riding off.
