Old sayings that younger folk won't get any longer


Recommended Posts

Not a saying but mind having to get a code from the tv listings in the newspaper to video record something on the telly. 

On a similar note, having to do trial and error with the 30 blank video tapes you had to find what you wanted to watch, only to find your brother had taped over it a few weeks earlier.

Going in to a restaurant and being asked if you want to sit in smoking or non smoking, wtf is that about?

not to diverge the topic but really who wants to puff a fag while you sit down for a nice steak or something?

Etiquette was to wait until everyone had finished eating. Before food arrived was also acceptable. Not everyone was on board with that though and you'd get manky b*****ds lighting up while people were eating. 

It does seem really weird now and i'd probably be put off by a used ashtray in the middle of the table. 

Like the golden days of air travel
