    True, and not many of us had home phones either!

    There are so many things that have improved our lives, but the huge advances in medicine has to be one of the most important things. When I think of all the people I've known who would still be alive today if we'd known then what we know now, it's an awful lot of people.

    ... On a more base note, I do agree about soft toilet paper. That horrible hard and slippery San Izal paper basically just spread it around! You would have been better off with the Visiter

    Noooo, especially not ring pulls! They are the bane of my life with my poor little arthritic fingers.

    Biggest downside with newspaper cut into squares and threaded onto a piece of string was:
    the ink always came off, leaving the user with a black bottom!

    Rumour has it that on those cold and lonely nights, he would relieve his boredom by performing some pretty wild contortions and read his own a$$. He talks out of it a lot of times, so why not?

    That's what I'd call 'black humour'!

    N.B. You knew the ink was going to be there, because it also rubbed off on your hands.

    Not at all funny, thinking of the trail of destruction and ill health that you personally have created.

    In the 70's a bloke on an opposite shift always left The Morning Star when he went home off day shift, he stopped after I kept cutting it into 4" squares and putting it on a nail in the wc.

    Apart from big technical stuff - phones, flat screens, microwaves etc, what little things have made your life easier?
    For me, it was the introduction of soft loo rolls and tea bags
    Wheels on suitcases!
