Headlight dip switch on the floor in your car - much better than on the steering column.On the other hand there is absolutely nothing I miss about imperial or avoirdupois measurements or £.s.d, the world is a much better place without them.

Re: Things That You Miss From The Past?
I agree with most thats been mentioned.But I miss the magic of Christmas, those days when we were kids... a time when most had the same which was nothing.
Everything seemed to shut for a week.
But Santa still managed fruit/chocolate and a few toys, which we would show off and play with for hours/days
And that dinner.
Those were the days mums and dads worked hard to provide the best money couldn't buy.
Kids nowadays have far more without feeling that special magic, that we had

or when a doctor actually examined you before writing a prescription, the last one I saw looked horrified when I told him I wanted advice, not a script, tbh I felt almost guilty not taking one, considering he'd already printed it out with my name on, he was just waiting to fill in the type of drug. lol

Three penny bits,Tanners,
Weights fags,
My old Raleigh bike with cow horns,
Radio One with real music not the carp we get now,
Saturday and Sunday night TV entertainment,
Corona pop not corona virus,
Rawhide ,
Laramie,
And fishing on the pier when it was not banned by a lousy harbour master.
