When wearing clothes and shoes from Primark was embarrassing
The Letterland alphabet Limewire Demo PlayStation game CD's People chain-smoking indoors around babies Irish pound currency Tiny packets of crisps for 5p and getting 100 sweets for Ł1 The bunch of CD's of games and other software that you'd get free in the keyboard box of a brand new all in one PC Panicking when you accidentally clicked the internet button on your phone because it ate up credit so quickly Being sent to the shop to buy cigarettes with a note from an adult saying it's for them

Our ice cream van used to sell cheap tabs, and drugs She would sell to kids too if they just said they were for their parents, and this seemed to be fairly common too, that the icey was a front for other stuff..I still get a bit skitzy sending the kids out to the icecream van now, just incase

When annoying your parents, instead of having a screen shoved infront of you being told to get out and play in the woods
I don't really remember anything pre about 1995 ish.born in 87. But even then, most (everyone?) only had 5 channels. Only a few had crappy dial up internet..we had it but it was mainly for my dads work so barely got to go on it..friends actually classed us as 'rich' because we had a computer! A few years after that everyone started getting them, but it was all just dial up and crawling bricks basically and yeah, had to come off it if anyone wanted to use the phone, or pay for 2 lines Even then, older people would be all 'back in my day you had no toys at all! you wouldn't survive' and that The difference though between when I was a teen and today is stark and it does make me feel ****ing ancient sometimes

All hail the Moyesiah

They're doing that in the next village to me as well, BT sold it to the parish council for Ł1. The one in our village is defunct so would like it to be used for something else as well, Ive seen some places have converted them into little libraries

I also remember having "Computer Class" once every few weeks in Junior School where a man would come in or we would go to the village library to learn the absolute basic stuff because "the age of computers were incoming fast"! Last edited by LaLaLand; 12-03-2019 at 12:48 PM. |

Its the 30th anniversary of the internet, I heard this on the radio this morning and it made me
Hearing Pete Tong making a meal of an admittedly difficult website address is a portal into a different time when all this stuff was new. Here’s the transcript – imagine trying to say this out loud. “And we’ll post it out there on the BBC homepages of the internet. And I keep saying that and not giving you the address. It’s very complicated so here it comes. H T T P colon forward slash forward slash w w w dot b b c n c dot o r g dot u k forward slash b b c t v forward slash p forward slash tong forward slash index full stop h t m l I know it doesn’t make sense but if you’ve got a computer and you’re outthere on the internet you’ll understand what I mean.” We’ve checked and sadly http://www.bbcnc.org.uk/ is now offline but we can tell you that bbcnc meant “bbc network club”. Hooray!
