Those of us who remember how things were 50 years or more ago should take the time to make their memories available to younger people. A world without the internet, without on screen games and where direct face to face conversation substituted for texts, emails and so called social media - was it better? Was it worse? Whichever, it was certainly different. PLEASE do add comments - thank you. Search this blog using the search box at the bottom or choose a topic from the labels on the right.

Mowers
All you gymn going folk - how do you mow your lawns (given that you have any)? Well, back in the 50s and a large part of the 60s most people mowed their lawns without petrol mowers, without even electric mowers - what? No rotary or Flymo or self propelled mowers? A push mower was the thing and compared to today, it was hard - which is maybe why hardly anybody (other than boxers or aspirant Mr Universes) ever went to a gymn or even thought about it. Of course, we used to spell gymn correctly too.
