We all know there are things from our younger years that you just don't see these days... White dog shit, A single gola trainer left on a roundabout, Spangles sweets, hedge porn, Highland toffee, Rainbow drops, Panda pops, Bobbies on the beat, Random dirty old men in macs outside 'girls only' schools etc etc. Now obviously we'll get all these things back after Brexit!π Butο»Ώ I was walking through the town the other day and saw something I genuinely haven't seen for years, and to be honest, itο»Ώ really surprised me! Someone was actually using a public payphone, ο»Ώο»Ώο»Ώ I hadn't realised before that moment, just how much the use of them had declined until I actually saw someone using one.ο»Ώο»Ώο»Ώ ο»Ώ I bet kids don't even know how to make them ring these days so a random pensioner in the adjacent bus queue had to go to answer it ππ Anything else from your former years that would leave todays yoofs completely flummoxed? Some white dogshit & hedgeporn yesterday..   |

It would be interesting to see how youngsters coped if Wiki and Search Engines were turned off - I bet many have never seen a paper encyclopedia.

I read an article on the decline of payphones, and it said that some massively high percentage of people under 20 had never used one. I asked Sam (who is 19) if he'd ever used one and he said no, and it must be 20 years since I last used one. I also read that there are a fair amount of payphones which never get used.

Funnily enough,I heard & then saw a youngish bloke(in his Co-op uniform)using a payphone yesterday.I wondered if he'd forgotten to charge his mobile before work & had to resort to this ancient method of communication!π

Remember getting on my bike and cycling all the way to town which was about 5 miles to go the library to get a book to research the sinking of the bismarck for an essay for school.
Little shits these days just copy from wiki, 30 seconds and homework done.

I don't smoke now but I miss the smell of proper weed. This modern GMO skunk shit stinks.

Turning up at a local dope smoking, Corsa driving chavs get together on Maccie Dee's carpark in an old blue 'spaz chariot' would sure confuse the hell out of them!!π  |
