Things Lost

I remember a lot of things from when I was young **sigh** that have disappeared through the years.
Like the ice man, who used to chip off pieces of ice for me. But I don't remember having an ice box.
A car with a crank on the front. It was owned by someone a few houses down.
Hiding under the desk for an air raid drill.
Having city wide air raid drills. You had to go in the basement and shut off all your lights.
Knowing where your closest civil defense bomb shelter was.
Ambulances, before they had the strange alien siren they have now.
Walking everywhere.
 
Know the feeling Janie :)

I can remember when a packet of crisps was 10-12p, now they cost upto 30p a packet, also with choccy bars, the price goes up all the time, but the amount U get gets lower each time, & general rants about the crazy state of the world today, so just an average day for me lol :p:p:p

BaNzI :D
