This is for people to remember things from days of old. Or for those who prefer to keep their age secret, what their parents remember.

Who remembers the little white dot on the TV when it was turned off?

My husband says he used to put a tiny bit of blue tack in the centre of the screen so that if he heard his mum coming up to check on him late at night he could turn the TV off quickly and she wouldn't be able to tell from the dot that he had been watching

I remember it....

and before the dot was the National Anthem

We never watched that bit

Shame

No shame...we just hated the TV finishing.....

Do you or me really want to do this?

I remember gas street lights. A man came along just before dusk. He wore a uniform and had a long pole with a brass gizmo at one end. One part of the gizmo had a flame and the other a hook device. He inserted the pole into a glass trapdoor in the lamp, with the hook device switched on the gas and with the flame lit it.
At dawn he came back and reversed the procedure. (The Old Lamplighter of Long, Long Ago).

There's lots more but I'll try to contain myself.

Thats fantastic...

How about 50p meters for the electricity? I remember when I was a little kid my mum sending me to the shop with a handful of coppers to get a 50p coin so we could get the electric back on.

I can remember when Pontious was a pilot

I remember a friend from school having a TV with a slot for 50p coins....they had to pay to watch the box

I remember a shilling gas slot meter

Which airline?

I do, I do.
