My ex's daughter couldn't get her head round the fact that you had to get up and push a button to change tv channel and at the most only had 3 channels. Also couldn't imagine using a phone box all the time.
Bonfires...lol, I remember all the kids from my childrens home and the lads very local to us used to have fights over bonfires with all the other kids in the area, always used to be 2 fires on this massive waist ground, and we would raid each others wood, some of the scraps were mad when I look back.....
