Thread: I can remember when..........

I remember a time when you bought music on shiny discs, which you could listen to using what we called a 'discman'. Ipods were an iconic invention which signalled the change between buying music and leasing it.
You could fill your fuel tank for under $100 and petrol V8 engined cars were still available new.
International travel was by aeroplane, and nearly everyone did it.
Our television was known as High Definiton but it was still a two dimensional view on a flat screen. Most households only had two or three televisions.
We carried mobile telephones with us, that you had to recharge every other night, and hold to your ear when using them. They didn't work in tunnels and you had to turn them off when flying in aeroplanes.
There was a company called Microsoft that made computer operating systems, that the majority of people used even though legally you had to pay to use it.
You had the option of carrying money on a plastic card or as notes and coins that you could actually touch and count.
The air in cities had a moderate level of smog, but there was still what we called 'the country' where the air was cleaner, the sky was blue and you could see stars at night.


Aah, the good old days.

...when I was happy with a new Corgi model car

.....when men had long hair, on their chest and their head
