We asked you to take a trip down memory lane and share something younger generations will never understand and your responses did not disappoint.Â
From black-and-white TVs to getting up to change the channel, having your milk delivered to your front door and even good old-fashioned typewriters, here are just some of the memories you shared.
Dawn Dominick – The sense of safety that we had growing up.
Jeanne-Marie Thomas – When you are 81…you live in a world soooo different from the world you grew up in! The list is immense.
Keith Wilson – Having to stand up to change the channel
Joan Gebetsberger – Milkman, Bread delivered not sliced, listening to the radio for the serials no TV. Playing in the street, hunting tadpoles enjoying the outdoors
Anne Mckeon – Being thankful for what we had.
Margaret Inglis – Typewriters. And carbon paper to place between 2 pieces of paper to make a copy. And put it in an envelope to forward it to someone.
Tolla Edda Anderson – Not being able to use the phone and computer at the same time.
Maureen Lyons Martinsky – Dialling a rotary phone.
Geoff Scrimes – No internet. Maybe black and white TV too. Of course no cell phones!!
Rosy Bloom – Stockings, suspenders, belts and corsets!
Marguerite Gainsford Stanford – actual money (cash) instead of paying everything on cards.
Steve Smith – milk bottles delivered to your front door.
