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.

Tanganyika
I wonder how many different countries which existed in the days of the British Empire people can now remember? I remember a Greek articled clerk I knew in around 1964 whose family had, apparently, had a sisal plantation in Tanganyika. His father owned ships too and he could not understand why, at 19, he was not immediately allowed to drive off a brand new Volvo he bought and paid for with a cheque!
