REMEMBER when the whole family sat around the table for supper...no excuses.
REMEMBER when Astroids was state-of-the-art? Pong?
Remember when there were only 3 TV stations?
Remember when, if you had a 2nd TV set, it was black and white.
Remember when turning 16 DIDN'T mean you immediately got your own car?
Remember when comic books were only a quarter?
Remember when you went on vacation in the ol' station wagon...lying in the back with your coloring books and not a seatbelt in sight.
Remember phone booths?

i've been reading through x-men from the beginning and at that time (1963) it was only 12¢!

Every generation thinks the next one has it handier....but I personally believe the difference between the generations now is probably the biggest divide ever....

the contrasts between nowdays and that of 20 - 30 years ago is huge.......technologically, morally, medically , sexually.......
I am only 41....and my niece cannot believe we had only one tv channel, black & white tv.......no pc's.....she was shocked as to how I passed my time as a kid :D

REMEMBER when Astroids was state-of-the-art? Pong? And trying to put spin on it, that never worked
Remember when there were only 3 TV stations? That went off at 10pm, then watching the white dot
Remember when, if you had a 2nd TV set, it was black and white. With NO remote control!!
Remember when turning 16 DIDN'T mean you immediately got your own car? I had to work for 2 years to save up and get my own.
Remember when comic books were only a quarter? 3d in English money, half my pocket money
Remember when you went on vacation in the ol' station wagon...lying in the back with your coloring books and not a seatbelt in sight. Never had a family car for holidays, Mums brother had to take us, and that broke down on the way.
Remember phone booths? Only used for emergencies.

Remember when your whole family actually went on a summer vacation?

You youngsters. :roll:
Remember when a loaf bread was 20 cents
A gallon of gas 24.9
Cigaretts 22 cents a pack.
Everyone listened to the radio dramas because there was no television outside of the big cities
beer was 3.75 a case
Levies were 4 dollars
If you had a phone it was a party line.
The phone company owned all phones and rented them to you...and they never broke.
snow tires were made with sawdust and only lasted 5000 miles.
100 dollars a week was excellent pay, and if you made 10,000 a year you were RICH!!!

Remember when there wasn't light beer?
Remember when a trip to McDonald's was a special treat?
Remember manual typewriters?
Remember when college basketball only had two officials ... and zero Dick Vitales?
Remember when air conditioning was a novelty?
Remember 45s (45 rpm vinyl records) ... or 78s?
Remember Super 8, 8mm or 16 mm home movies?
Remember slide projectors (and I don't mean those modern carousel contraptions)?
Remember when no one talked about fried foods being bad for you?

Remember when this thread didn't sound like Monty Python's 4 Yorkshiremen sketch??
