The Harry Worth show. In the titles at the start he stand, half behind a shop window and raise one arm and let and it would look like he was floating. This won't make sense to anyone under 50.

The old Leicester City Council offices.

An eyesore in the heart of the city, but now the new building replacing it (student accommodation/commercial offices?) looks more attractive to look at.

I can remember the days when a man or woman under 35 could walk down the road without having a mobile phone glued to their hands and looking down at it without watching where they were going

 

those were the days

Or indeed when folk could send text messages without feeling compelled to take a picture of themselves...  If the girl you're trying to woo on snapchat can't remember what you look like from the previous 15 identical selfies you've sent her over the past hour then you're preying on the mentally disabled.

I don't know if they've improved the recipe since then, DT, but I've carried powdered egg when hiking and found it quite acceptable.

Well I guess that after some 70 years, it must have improved!  However, I don't think I'll try it out, just in case.

Read somewhere recently saying that glasses milk bottles are becoming higher in demand from consumers.

I think plastic has been overused in most products, and hence now the effect of too much of it is straining the quality of the oceans.

I can remember when motorists used to ask for directions.

Oh yes, but what about the birds that pecked the tops, and drank the cream? All those great feathered heads, stuck in my milk bottles!

Robbing little perishers!
