Have to take a phone call from their girlfriend and remain 6 feet from the point in the wall where the wire goes in, in full earshot of the rest of the family.
"Say what?"
"You know what"
"ermmm, cough..mumble, mumble....ve you"
Cue brother or sister shouting OOOOOHHHHHHH HE LOVES HER, MUM, MUM!!!!
Dead arms and chasing around the house.

Use a telephone dial. I tried to explain this to my godson the other day and he couldn't grasp it
I did that with my kids in the summer. They understood that it was a phone, but the dial had them completely confused. They could also figure out what a 7" single was, although they assumed it contained video rather than just music and thought it hilarious that it only had one track on each side, but the humble C90 cassette had them utterly flummoxed. They just had no idea what it was!

Tune in a TV.
That's a good one! Trying to tune in the TV for the Mega Drive!That's another one, blowing on games cartdridges to make them work and using a games controller with a wire.
Unlock a car door with a key, rather than the remote.
Reach behind the front seats of a car, to unlock the rear doors.

I was with my brother at the weekend, reminiscing, as you do.
And we talked about how we used to go to the record shop (Our price) on a Saturday and buy a 7 inch single. If the shop didn't have it Woolworths was the next option.
The pleasure we derived from that and taking it home to put on the record player and listen to it non stop all afternoon.
Kids now will never do that!
What else will the youth of today never enjoy or dread?
Don't be so sure. I'm 17 and very pleased to have an expanding collection of vinyl, currently standing at approx 35 LPs and 25 45s. It's fortunate that there's a record shop within walking distance.And we talked about how we used to go to the record shop (Our price) on a Saturday and buy a 7 inch single.

What I'm worried about is the future of the print industry. I try not to buy records too frequently because I don't have a proper job yet, but every month, without fail, I will leave school to get to Smith's and pick up my copy of Custom Car on the day of its release. I always get very excited about that. Sadly, with everything going digital, the children of the future may not have that pleasure.
