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?

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

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!

*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

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

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!
