    that was one of the worst things when i was self employed, getting phoned at all hours, and even on holiday!
    had a right bill one year, £250 for calls i took while in spain back before you had 'free roaming'!

    we binned out landline last year, no one calls us on it, and all we ever got was cold calling...

    Missus only kept it as her dad couldn't figure how to work a mobile. And knew our number by heart.

    But he can use a mobile now, and got rid of his landline.

    Our washing machine was a ‘twin tub’ that you connected to the kitchen tap and put the drain hose into the sink. It required a lot of supervision but was better than washing clothes by hand

    I hate phone calls so I don’t have a home phone plugged in, and everyone I know just texts me rather than calling. I keep my mobile on silent at all times and never answer it Decades of being on call mostly causes my hatred of phones- I actually jump when I hear one ring with certain ring tones.

    As a kid on a farm only heat winter as the rayburn only hot water was from it and the tin bath got filled Fridays and i got second place after my sister me then Mum and Dad last of all. There was a fight to get near it on the cold nights as the dogs and cats sat up front real close ice on the inside of the windows in the mornings in the bed room and pulling your clothes into the bed to put them on. Them was the days nearest phone was miles away I hate the mobile work rings misses rings people ring the only bloody time i use it is if i happen to brake down on the bike or in the van. if i could go back to sitting by that rayburn them was the days

    You was dead posh we had one of those old top loading Hotpoint washers complete with finger chewing electric mangle to wring the clothes as you took them out. I remember getting rid of it to the tip when mum decided she deserved an automatic one in the late eighties, bloody heavy thing it was. We could start the Yorkshiremen sketch between us here lol.

    Mobile Telephones... hate the things, never stopped ringing when we got them on the railway. Never had one since I finished with that job in 2006 til very recently when I picked up a cheap flip phone, no internet or owt, only got that because there are no phone boxes anymore if you break down. It doesn't ring cos no one has the number.

    makes me laugh everyone on here seems to be so anti technology, (me included)
    we'd be better off sitting on a rustic bench outside a farm, supping scrumpy ooooaaaarrrr

    not done that since '83 at a farm by cheddar gorge.
    we all ended up sleeping in the barn, couldn't walk let alone ride our scooters
    happy days....

    Less of the bugger more of the old . went aboard on holiday in either 71 or 72 to Spain 10 days all inclusive £30 took more spending money than the holiday cost and came back with change. parking the car at an airport these days costs more than the whole holiday cost.

    3 pints of cider each we were served, before being told to 'it's time for you to go 'ome'
    we got back, but have no memory of how...
