You'll have us using public telephones and pressing buttons 'A' and 'B' next... or putting coal on the fire. And never mind FILM, what about FLASHBULBS? (In case you're wondering, no, I never used flash powder. I'm not quite THAT old.

Only 3 channels? Blimey, you really are old Mrs B (I can't possibly remember a time when we had no Channel 4!).

Yes. There are all sorts of audio-techno arguments, but also, they have remained popular with many club DJs.

You're only as old as the...er...woman you feel, as the saying goes ;)

Wow - a whole drawer of leg warmers?!
(I should probably confess at this stage that I have never actually owned a pair of leg warmers - artistic licence and all that...)

Strangely vinyl record decks seem to be one of those things that are still hanging around for music purists.

Brilliant! :-D

Oooh, would have loved to go to that 80's night with you! :)
As for nostalgia, when my kids saw my old vinyls, their comment was: "Wow, CDs were THAT BIG in your days, Mummy?" ;)

3 television channels....you were lucky! I do actually remember the man from the television shop visiting my granny's house to set her t.v. up with a second channel....ITV I think!

So by that, you'll know that passing the big four zero is nostalgia for me.

Nostalgia is only good when it's a first hand experience. My parents told me how hard it was in the war, but unless you've experienced it first hand, it might as well be a history book.

Yes our kids will develop a sense of nostalgia, but it will be for the primitive things they remember from their youth, like blogging and i-pads! Or, to paraphrase Peter Kay, "things were tough back then, your mother had to unload the dishwasher BY HAND, and we only had one car each".

I still have a vinyl record deck!!!!

There are lots of things wasted on the young - energy, enthusiasm, time! I loved this trip back into the dark ages!! (I'm smiling!)

I've got a drawer of leg warmers. Does that make me retro or retard?

As for those Fairy Hobmother folk at http://www.appliancesonline.co.uk/ - don't believe they exist! Another flashbackof yours?
