What makes you feel old?

[Rolfe]

I remember shellac 78s.

I've been having small faces Sunday afternoon going round in my head
That's at least 6/7 years older than me

I remember going out for a pint with Beethoven.

Conversation wasn't up to much, though...

I remember shellac 78s.

But did you actually but one?
I certainly played them, on a wind up gramaphone, with steel needles that had to be changed fairly often

feeling old.......

• having Sparky the Magic Piano on 78s
• learning to drive in a car that had real wood on the outside
• Thunderbirds, Joe 90, Captain Scarlet (and slightly later UFO...)
• sweeties being much more than one bite (yes Wagon Wheels... I'm looking at you!)
• the 'ginger' lorry coming round ('ginger'= fizzy drinks)

I remember when shops closed Wednesday afternoons and all day Sundays apart from a few small shops and newsagents, even then they closed at lunchtime.
