A few memories from days gone past

[Jimbuna]

There must be some nostalgic memories for everyone here:



WARNING: there are a few 'adult' words if you listen carefully.

Very, very clever. Thanks for sharing. I noticed it was a British view of the 70s/80s, but it is very interesting how many of the items metioned cross over between the US and UK. Considering I recall events/people/places/things from the 50s/60s, I am indeed a very old "git"...

Time to regress a little.
I raised kids during the 70's and 80's.

I was a teen in the 80's. I would live it all again. I like the video!

I recall the '50's too! Dinner was an adventure!

Pff, typical sentimental nostalgia of old geezers...oh, wait a minute...

Of course we had ipad-like devices in the 80s, one is shown at 2:55. The more sophisticated Casio's were able to show the time, calculate and store phone numbers - without being able to actually make a phone call; sounds a lot like the ipad today

What I find interesting is that the Brits have fond memories of the 1/2 p coin, while us German obnoxious kids loved the Shilling/5p coin. It had nearly the same dimensions and weight as the 1 Mark coin while having only 1/6th of its value. Worked great on the older vending and cigarette machines here. So late apologies to the UK for exporting many of your coins to Germany, leaving you unable to play at the penny arcade.

Get off my 70's/80s lawn, kiddo - the original Billy Joel song was already dedicated to you!

Damn disrespectful whippersnappers. Go out back and cut me a switch...


Something else to make some of us feel older:

Just to show I'm not old fashioned, here's a picture of my keyboard:
