Who never got to use a public phone to sort out a get together with their mates.........and actually be where they said they would be!

My grandad had a table with scalloped edges. It wasn't made that way, he used to rotate the cig position daily!
...who break something, throw it away and buy another without trying to fix it.
Who'll never reminisce about their girlfriend's hairy mary's
… who will never play Space Invaders in a seaside arcade.
… who will never see white dog shite.
… who will never watch a football match in an actual stadium.
… who will never write and post a letter.
Etc, etc.
...don’t know the difference between your and you’re.
who will never retire and will have to work until they drop or who will not know how to use a corkscrew, carve a joint, mow a lawn, read a novel, turn on a light switch without the aid of a app, go to a disco, have a Club 18-30 holiday, buy light fitting at BHS or switch TV channels without the aid of a remote control.
On the up side they will not grow up with experience of Polio, TB, Smallpox, having to hide copies of Playboy and Hustle under their beds and a world war.

LOL - so true, my first car was older than I was. I shall bear this in mind when I get my son his first car.

Call a girl and hope her dad doesn't answer.
And I know this thread is the partner to the one lamenting music these days and the meaningless lyrics. Bring back the good old days of a life-expectancy of 55 and TB.

Re nailing in your studs for a pair of Bata Cup Ties, only to be kicked in the chins by a rain sodden pair in the match!
Experiencing a rain sodden leather football from the 50's hitting you in the crown jewels!!

I know they are not nice in the gentlemen vegetables. But I think worse was trying to turn away from a speeding ball, when you are playing in freezing February, and taking it full on the cheek.
Feck.... that teeth rattling, ear ringing, neck jarring, tongue biting slap, and then STING that comes immediately after!
I might have to go have a lie down just thinking about that.
LOL and can you imagine Paul Pogba's hair cut after that!
Heading said tube football and having the laces imprint on your face for a week but the positive side being it also burst all your blackheads or spots.
There is nothing more character-building than getting hit by a blootered, over-inflated Mitre Mouldmaster on your bare, freezing-cold thigh on a winter's day.

Also, putting old batteries on a warm radiator to 'charge them up'.
The pain of a Xmas day that falls on a Friday. Meaning that nothing is open until Monday to buy the vital batteries you need to run your new toy.

The taste of that stuff...
Oh God!!!! I just had flashbacks to some of the worst moments of my teens.
A girl calling you and one of your own parents answering was as bad due to the subsequent interrogation.
When you said “I’ll meet you outside Yates’s at 7” people actually turned up on time instead of “I’ll text you when I’m on my way”
If you weren’t outside Yates’s at 7, you had a 30 min opportunity when we were IN Yates’s but after that you’d never find us.....
