And no maid
And no maidMmmm that's a hard one.
Well I do miss those little hooks for doing up the buttons on my gloves.
I also miss not having to vote, it's so hard to use my pretty little head working out who to vote for.
Oh and not being allowed to own property, it was so much easier when only men were allowed to vote and own property.
All that paperwork, having to read and deal with people! Exhausting.
I miss being helped down from the carriage and those delightful Dalmation dogs that used to run underneath.
I miss the oil lamps and those lovely little candle snuffers.
Oh, and marcasite jewellery.
There was a tv programme I can recall about , horses , white horses , something like that , anyone know ...Another favourite of mine with Brinsley Ford and the little girl, tiger ?? hope I've got that right. I used to love Follyfoot farm, the guy was dreamy and the girl was just too prettyand Black beauty as well
Does anyone remember a foreign childrens programme with a surly, demanding, high maintenance girl who was put in this place with a singing ringing tree and a dwarf type person. Was it called 'The Singing ringing tree?' Nordic perhaps, this is all from memory and not from Googling.
That's you that is.
Thanks for that Chris. I'm a southern girl but not heard of them. Oh well another of life's little mysteriesMaybe they were local to down South. They were the forerunners of Tesco.
Ha Ha, Yes i'd forgotten about those delights. Tissues in boys bedrooms should definitely be handled with care thoughBeen there done that, watch out for the science experiments lurking under the bed in mugs and on plates, and the rain forest of tissues laying about.

And talking of telephones, I miss tel numbers being only four numbers in total. I can remember our first phone no. was 7125 and we had to say it in a pseudo posh voice every time somebody called
That's you that is.
2468, Our first phone number when we go married, 44 years ago.
Yes & one day they will find out that material mean nothing, they break & can be taken away, we own nothing in this life but our life it's self, yet so many are now wasting it instead of living it.I don't think todays children have the same freedom we had. They may have more material things, but I think we happier.
Dens in the woods, and playing in the corn fields, paddling in the stream. Getting so muddy, and it cost zero
My mum and dad's number was, 23026My first proper job when I left school was with the GPO, I was a telephonist
" Number please" "Directory enquires, which town please ?" and sometimes we would be on the emergency terminus, 999" "Emergency, which service do you require"? I was just 16 then and so excited with my job, we had to sign the Secrets Actalso it was all free too

I know ... we have cable and free to air TV totalling over 100 channels .. yet 9 times out of 10 there's nothing worth watching. Mainly only watch the UK TV so I can see Corrie and Eastenders, Casualty and the like. What I don't get is we pay about $120 per month for this priviledge because there were no ads. on .... now there are ads on and we still have to pay!I remember when there were just 2 tv channels, BBC and ITV with only one tele in the house and everyone had to watch what Mum and Dad wanted to watch. No videos of course.
Now we have an endless choice of channels, catch up, +1 hour, series link, instant & timer recording etc and teles in every room, so there's no risk of ever missing anything. Shame there's so few unmissable programmes on now though
Oh violets, that just reminded me of the tiny little sweets you could buy called Palma Violets from the chemist we always had a pack to freshen breath, especially if we had an eye on a certain someone, they tasted like perfume
My husbands cousin lives in outer London and she still answers her phone with "9282" which was her 4 digit phone number and now the last 4 digits.And talking of telephones, I miss tel numbers being only four numbers in total.
