    I remember walking to the phone box with a couple of 2p's to have a chat.

    Bubble and squeak was better than microwave food.

    People spoke to each other (called a discussion) instead of just starring at a phone.

    You used your encyclopedia or the library because there was no tinter'net.

    You got off your arse to turn the TV on to another channel (and you only had 4 to pick from, or the off button.

    You got paid at the end of a week with cash in a little brown envelope.

    Them were the days ��

    Me too ...... but 'my here' NOT 'your here'; because 'your here' is 'there'!
