I’m so old I remember…

I always wanted one of those 1920's type of phones I have seen them but they've got push buttons which doesn't work for me really. kinds defeats the object

BT (as was) changed from tone or pulse dialling to only tone dialling around 2004 (I think). That's when the old upright standards stopped working. :(
 
Watching "adult content" from our cable tv box. The picture was scrambled, either fuzzy, distorted, picture constantly rolls upwards. Used to strain my eyes trying to catch a glimpse of a bare boob or ass. No wonder I need glasses now.
 
We had an Ice Box, a real ice box...Icemen delivered a block of ice to homes, and under the icebox was a basin that collected the water from the melted ice.
Probably 1938 ish is the earliest I remember, I was 4.

I have a good way of remembering...I recall the doctor coming to my cousins' next door for his brother being born...in 1938. The doctor carried a black leather case and my older cousin told me The baby is in the case."
