Time for a bit of good old nostalgia so...

Without revealing your actual age, what something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?
 
Cassettes, cheques, vinyl, floppy disks and VHS.
 
I remember the launch of channel 5.

so basically we only had 4.
 
Really hairy pussys in pornos.
 
In my day people were generally uncontactable and everyone just accepted it !
 
Corded house phones that were in the hall on a phone stand/seat.
 
Teletext
Blackboards
Conkers
Kurby (the game for 2 with a football and a road)
Climbing trees

Taking weeks and weeks to get a girl in the sack.

As I understand it, it's part of a night out these days.
 
Betamax, 8 track, button A and B, pounds shillings and pence, Sky having a satellite broadcast rival (BSB?), not having a mobile phone, laptop or computer (how did we survive?!).

Launch of BBC2 on 625 line TV - almost all TV's at the time were 475 line, you had BBC1 and ITV, then there were 3!
 
When wireless referred to radios.

When London phone numbers started 01 and 01 811 8055 meant something as well as W12 8QT.

Corded house phones that were in the hall on a phone stand/seat.

Which had a proper dial on them so dialling anything with lots of 7s, 8s, 9s, and 0s took forever.
 
The Raleigh Chopper.

BMX Bikes being the best thing since sliced bread.

The Beasty Boys, three middle class Jewish white boys fundamentally creating Black Hip Hop music.

Chris Tarrant on the Capital Radio Breakfast Show.

The great storm of 1987.
