Would agree with that too. There certainly has been a backslide in that regard in the last decade in places including the UK, but times are still steadily getting better overall IMO - that's just a hunch on my part though.

I wish I shared your optimism, and I never thought I'd post that in a reply to you of all posters

Feu Orange car air fresheners. You had to use a pin to puncture the fragrance bubble on the card. More often then not drawing blood from a pierced finger….😂

I’m assuming they discontinued a load. 
 

This year was the first time I didn’t receive a Lynx Africa shower gel / deodorant set in about the past 20 years at Christmas. I’m assuming this is due to the demise of Wilkinsons.

Many a morning sat crossed legged in front of this watching Tarzan, Laurel and Hardy, Camblewick Green, Fingerbobs and Pipkins.

Street sweepers. Never see them any more. Not sure if that's due to Tory cuts or the fact I don't go clubbing til the early hours any more.

I thought so until I saw one in Hinckley the other day. I'm assuming you mean a mechanical one and not and not a Trigger one

Yeah the mechanical ones.

 

The noise just makes me think of coming out of a club in the very early morning, or being up early somewhere in Europe to get a train or bus somewhere.

id assume you only need a license if you actually watch the tv and not have it stored away somewhere..

I think you need a license for one if it's capable of receiving TV broadcasts. Even if it's stored but is capable of working

Back in the 90s, in london, a professional sweep taught me to turn my brush upside down (ie bristle ends facing forward) and to slide it along on the wooden part of the brush head - so it lasts longer but also reduces the amount of stuff that goes underneath.

Did you get washed in the kitchen sink as a child?   
It was often more economical to fill the sink rather than the bath as there wasn't always  hot water to be had.

No, but oddly enough the other day i remembered that we didn't have bubble bath but washing up liquid.

You were lucky to 'ave a sink. We used to 'ave a wash in the gutter...

We still do this now as our boy is small. Seems pointless filling the bath.

There was Spice in a green can and my favourite.Amber.Wasn’t keen on Musk.

The Euro equivalent was called Axe and I think they had a couple of different flavours.Might be wrong.
