My dad's village got electricity so people could watch the Queen's coronation on telly. Mains sewers had to wait 'til 1964 :thumbsup:



All my mates in N.Yorks have real fires. Seriously, there worth the hassle :thumbsup:



So it's not just in Britain that doctor's waiting rooms have been specifically designed to suck the life out of you.....?? :confused::confused::confused:
Earned. This.

Incredible isn't it? Young 'uns now won't believe you! :rolleyes: In my late teens, I spent the bitterly cold 78/79 winter in a house in central Sheffield with no hot running water, a coal fire, and a darn great hole in the roof! :D The pipes froze and we had to melt snow at one point! :eek: I'd happily go back to the fire though, always plenty of wood roundabouts :thumbsup:

That looks delicious David, nice pic :) :thumbsup:

At least you didn't live in a rolled up newspaper!

Called a plumber last week myself. And my wife told me recently the ceiling in our garage is wet. May need to fix roof. :eek:

I can add a notch to my belt with the reamer on my Vic Spartan I bought Saturday.

I like the one with Raymond Burr. The ones made in the '60s were good too.

LOL! I had completely forgotten about that film! I'm going to have to seek it out and watch it again! :D I'm not sure about the 1960's ones but they sound like the sort of thing BBC2 would of screened on Saturday mornings.

LOL Jack! Your credentials as a hard Tike are cast iron! :D Sounds like you were squatting somewhere though.... :eek:
I'm a tad *ahem* younger than yourself,:D but I also grew up in a house without central heating and a coal fire with back boiler for hot water. I'm 46 and you mention to folk literally not 10 years younger than me that you grew up in a house without double glazing and they look at you skew wift. :rolleyes:
I remember getting into an argument with some over-educated 'youngster' in a pub in York. I'd been talking to my mates about when I worked on the fresh produce markets in London, doing 2-3 night-shifts a week between 11-15 years old. This stuck-up fool butted in and effectively called me a liar and started twitting on about social services, law about school attendence and other stuff that meant nothing in reality. Seriously, we've gone soft.... :rolleyes:
