I Remember When

My first portable record player, a Philips, the lid could be separated as the speaker and it was mono.

there were gramophones

Seaside rock with the name through it.

I got my first car - an Austin Maxi (bought off the in laws) and engaging first gear could only be achieved by engaging second gear first - wonderful synchromesh! But it was 1750 cc and had 5 gears and could tow a caravan.

Getting on the bus and asking the conductor for a scholars ticket.

Going down the chip chop and getting 3d worth of chips and a lot you got. Old money

When guardsmen were all 6 footers. Went to see the Changing of the Guard last week and some of them looked like midgets.

I got my first car - an Austin Maxi (bought off the in laws) and engaging first gear could only be achieved by engaging second gear first - wonderful synchromesh! But it was 1750 cc and had 5 gears and could tow a caravan.

First car I ever bought at auction. Wasn't overly enamoured of it and sold it after six months.

I remember when the Esso sign meant happy motoring.

Only if you had a tiger in your tank....
