Who remembers what?

Does anybody remember when tv remotes were actually attached to the TV??

Or when it was socially acceptable to have a good old fag whilst doing your shopping in the supermarket??

[Niamh.]

Do we have to?:bawling:

eh I don't remember being able to smoke in supermarkets but Gav remembers being able to smoke in the cinema (he's 36)

I remember being able to buy single cigarettes in the shop and a match and scratch, lol really not helping to discourage kids from smoking:joker:

Oh yeah, I used to be able to buy a fag for just 10p on the way to school! hahah

ANd I remember being able to smoke in the cinema too.. I was using my light to look for my fags in the dark and set my scarf on fire!

The most bizarre thing to me though is the fact that we used to be allowed to smoke on aeroplanes.. it's madness when you think about it!

Smoking on aeroplanes was a great laugh...............I remember going to Kos - none of the other 3 lads smoked so they got seats in the non-smoking section which was simply the row in front of me.

I mean I'm a smoker but the thought of being able to smoke in a cinema now is horrible, must have been rotten for non smokers too.

tbh I was annoyed about the smoking ban in pubs at first but I'm glad it's there now, I smoke so much less when I'm out plus my clothes don't stink of smoke either the next day!

[Niamh.]

You've not hit your 30's so you're not up with these lot just yet lol

Women are at their peak in there 30's I'll have you know:nono:

Yeah, I was the same.. I was outraged at tghe thought of the ban, but everybody just seemed to accept it almost immediatel and I smell so much fresher after a night behind the bar. Even my pillow used to smell the morning after a shift in the bar! :yuck:

[Stephanie]

*trying to think of un smoking related stuff*

oh when I was a kid we only had 2 TV channels and no remote control (not that you needed it with 2 channels:laugh:

oh and I remember getting central heating in the house as well, I remember thinking when we turned it on first it was like being in Spain (not that I'd even been to Spain then:joker:

Lucky it is a posh bar Lee - at this end of the Fife the owner only gets the ashtrays out after lock-in time but at any other point you are instructed to go to the toilet to smoke...........unfortunately you can buy any amount of various things while in there. It'll end in tears!

I'm blaming it all on Kerry - she started on Wham Bars Lee - made me think of the Tropicana in Kirkcaldy circa 1985

A wee bit before my time, but I do remember seeing it as I used to go to Kirkcaldy a lot with my mum. Was it in the building that became Cleos? (not sure of name) sort of behind Jackie Os?

I don't actually remember the first time we had central heating but I do remember living in a house that didn't have it!! My mum used to put the gas fire on in the morning and put a big basin of hot water in front of it for us to get washed in, then she'd heat every individual item of clothing at the fire before we put them on, cup of hot Ribena, then out to school!

I still heat all my clothes before I put them on! ahahaha

[Niamh.]

also I remember when telephones looked like this :

http://tekmondo.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/retro-telephone.jpg

It used to take forever to dial a number and I remember getting really annoyed when I'd make a mistake and have to start over again :/

my friends mom had a lock on hers to stop my friend running up the phone bill but we figured out how to tap the phone, by hitting the hang up button really quick (5 times for 5, 6 times for 6 etc.)

Evil woman Niamh! I was reading the 'call emergency' thread on the site. 999 would take forever on these phones and that's why the clever Americans invented 112 I think!

I still have a 1930s bakolite phone in black and one in green - their rings are really nice!

It wasn't but it was close to it - only about 100m away.

Jackie Os - hahahaha now you're showing your age! I could tell you of Chevy's in Dumfi !!!!!!! All the police used to drink there and as my ex's sister was a policewoman and her partner a policeman, no queuing, in for free and free drinks!

[Claymores]

Haha.. I can't place Club Tropicana exactly, but I do remember a wee neon sign of a palm tree.. lol

I'm not good at remembering the names of Dumfi streets - a bit down the hill from the Burgh Chambers- not on the High Street - the other way

And yes you are correct about the palm tree sign

[Niamh.]

Ah right.. perhaps.
