Yeah, but as I remember, didn't you go to a Led Zep gig and in an effort to protect your Capri from theft you took of the HT lead and then left it at the gig?

Showering the morning after a night out and washing the stink of stale smoke off you.

Radio Caroline and Luxumberg on a dodgy signal late at night when reception was best.

Walk through a built up area carrying an uncovered air rifle and have a sheaf knife with a seven inch blade fixed to their belt.

Operate the floor mounted dip switch for their dad. Lean over and steer at 50 mph down an A road.

Go digging lug worms on the beach to sell to a fishing tackle shop for two shillings a dozen.

Steal discarded lead off the police station roof to melt down for sea fishing weights (true).

Experience the pleasure and smell of a brand new thick leather satchel on the first day of school term.

Etc

Thanks to new light bulbs, I doubt they will be able to play Star Wars light sabres with fluorescent strip bulbs

Future generations will never tune a radio All of that will be gone soon, even R4 longwave when the valves fail.

I wonder what will happen to Economy 7/10? That still uses the teleswitch carried by the R4 LW frequency, and that will go offline too.

Or even Laser 558, with "Grimly Fiendish", "Solid as a Rock" and "Shout" seemingly on sodding repeat...

I thought wedgies had died out. My son's schoolmates have just discovered them, though they appear to be slightly confused as to how to apply one.

They'll never do a piss that smells of Sugar Puffs (because they've now been renamed Honey Monster Puffs).

Buy icecream from a tray in the 'interval' at the cinema

Rotary dial phones are selling like hot cakes - GPO sell them

Kids don't yearn for anything now, how I so so wanted a Puch Free Spirit at 13

[Dr Jekyll]

Wander into Downing street as an ordinary member of the public.

Just the governor so it is dead slow or spins like mad (if they are proper ones)

Early push button 746, swap the left hand row for the right hand row and watch the confusion as people cannot get the number they want.

Hell, you were posh if you had a phone.

There's plenty of modern cars with a key operated door lock.

True - they have it as a backup in case the remote fails. But how many times have you used that feature? I personally haven't opened a car with an actual key for perhaps 15 years.

Have somebody put petrol in your car for you, whilst you sit in your car.

Funnily - that does seem to be making something of a comeback. Our local shell garage has an attended service most days.

Never made use of it though.

Visit the petrol station in Crakehall near Bedale, N Yorkshire and you'll find they fill up for you.

Get picked up from school by Dad with his motor bike, climbing on the back and taking off down the road without a crash helmet (legally).
