    Does it do any good now?

    I've absolutely no idea! Can't imagine it does though.

    I suppose the alternative of a thumb dipped in whiskey can still be used!

    Talking to a stranger at a bus stop or a music festival cause you can't find your friends and don't have head buried in a phone.

    Enjoying Clara Lara fun Park before they needed to bring in strict health and safety cause people sueing for injuring themselves being stupid.

    Running around half built housing estates, running up stairs of half built houses. Same reason above.

    I remember bringing empty lemonade bottles back to the shop and getting your deposit back. Halfpenny usually. If you came upon one when out and about..... WooHoo....

    Collecting wax chewing gum wrappers.......when you got the set you sent them off for a free camera or football. There was always one wrapper that was almost impossible to get. Someone came upon a shop in Ringsend that always had the rare ones. We had many pilgrimages to that shop.......and sore jaws.

    Boiling water on the stove.

    Does anyone not use an electric kettle now a days?

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    If cooking pasta, I'll boil the water on the hob from cold. A lot of people boil the required amount in the kettle and then pour it into the saucepan. I prefer the other method.

    My uncle still has a large pot of hot water in the range for washing purposes. He uses a kettle on the has hob to boil water for the tae.
    Doesn't possess an electric kettle, and no desire for one.

    .

    My brother injured himself quite badly in the mid eighties in the park due to their complete lack of basic health and safety. He spent a summer in hospital because of it and it was not down to his messing.

    There was no suing back then. The owner seen that his hospital bills were taken care of and that he wanted for nothing when Christmas came around.

    You'd need to ask your dentist about that one.

    That was great fun. It was great to explore half built houses - we never did any damage, just a look around was the thrill.

    Simpler times.
