When smoking was praised

When the snooker commentators said "“For those of you watching in black and white, the pink is next to the green.”

corporal punishment at school, then my dad paddling my ass when I got home because I had been misbehaving in class

My first day of school i was sent home with a letter, I said they should have given me the cane, but thought it might scare me about school.

I got it the second day and many times after.

I remember saving the glass coke bottles to return for money at the grocery store

Occasionally you can still find coke in bottles.

The returning system still exists of courses, though glass bottles give less than plastic or aluminium cans, for some reason. But the crates for glass bottles disappeared some 20-25 years ago. They had their own deposit and it was handy to take a full crate of bottles back.
