In my day...... (Light hearted)

[PiperIsOrange]

does anybody else stop and think about this.

Like ( grandmother) nobody would have a dirty front step because it was a sign of a dirty house.

In my day, we didn't have internet that could go anywhere. We had to go home and hope our parents weren't on the phone.

In my day we didn't have that email. We had to roll paper up very thin and send it down the telephone wire. Fax, they called it.

Paper? You were lucky. We had to find the nearest hill, light a fire and beat smoke signals with a blanket . . .

You had fire?!

In my day, we had a cabinet in the hallway which had the sole purpose of holding the yellow pages/numerous phone books/directories!

In my day, nobody put "lighthearted" in a thread title on MN.

And they didn't post non AIBUs in Aibu.

In my day, we knew all of our friends and families house phone numbers off by heart! These days I can't even remember my own mobile no. some days, never mind my DH's or anyone else's!

Round here it wasn't just washing the front step, but then putting Cardinal red polish onto it as well!
(I found a tin of the stuff in mum's old coal cellar the other week. I'm almost convinced it dates back to the 60s)

phone boxes you could use 2p in ive vivid memories of calling my friend from the phone box with a massive tub of 2p pieces!

we still paint our step red!

nappies were warmed by the open fire (and burned slightly occasionally too)

did anyone elses nan put the butter by the fire before she used it?

I knew numbers off by heart but then my home phone number was 280.

Youd get repetitive strain injuries to your fingers using the telephone......
