I’m so old I remember…

Building the Millennium Falcon with my son, and now I find out it could be worth 20000 if I'd left it sealed in the box.

True but the time spent together is far more valuable. In my opinion.

What’s this from?

It was meant to be a joke, goldfish are reputed to have a 3 second memory, (not true apparently) I guess I am so old I remember how not to be funny. LOL (as the youngsters abbreviate).

 

[UKSilverFox]

I remember the old coins before decimalisation

So do I, the feeling of 6 old pennies in your pocket on the way to the sweet shop. The weight was amazing, as was the anticipation, Cough Candy Twists!

Oh yes...I have colleagues who still use this. From 35mm to full format. All black and white so they can develop it themselves.

I had to borrow one so my sone could experience a proper camera as I'm told.

There were some downsides to film based cameras (I still use a 'proper', if digital, camera for wildlife photography).

Most painful in my memory, having to sit through a family slideshow, LOL

There are downsides to every invention. I hate the modern smartphone which speed up the drive to online life.

All our school end of year films where done by reel-reel projector.

I remember sitting through "Henry V" (Lawrence Olivier I think) like that in school, so boring until the knights in armour battle scenes, changed my view totally, so good.

Oh yes....wasn't this phased out due to Supermarkets and the 'better' plastic bottles along with better refrigeration?

Milk was cheaper at a supermarket

It was.

I vaguely remember when the supermarket arrived, everything went plastic...Could be just my faulty memory.

Now we are trying to reduce plastic, maybe we will go back to glass bottles you have to return.

Makes perfect sense to me.

I remember having milk delivered, also remember the birds pecking through the thin metal tops and drinking the cream.
