In my day ...

[lunatic59]

Back in my day, the same girl at the bank who has been waiting on me for 15 years didn't require two forms of identification at the drive-up window just to cash a check from my own account which has been at that bank through 6 takeovers or mergers.

In my day if Mom didn't call while we were playing outside we knew to come in when the street lights came on.
Batman was about to start!

Well stated!

Couldn't really figure out where else to drop this pic, but it fits in this thread at least tangentially. It's a still I took from a show I was watching.

Anyone care to guess the stats around the picture? Date/Year? Location?

In my day we thought that in the 21st century, everyone would have a flying car and electricity would be too cheap to be worth metering.

In my day a social connection was not a typed to and read media.

In my day I was optimistic that the world would be a better place now.

Perspectives, such is the nature of life.

20 years ago we had Bob Hope, Johnny Cash and Steve Jobs. Now we have no hope, no cash and no jobs. Please don't tell me something happened to Kevin Bacon.

But we do have Lady Gaga.

Steve Jobs was a nice boy in turtlenecks.

Steve Jobs was a nice boy in turtlenecks.

In one sense, I'm not sure I'd want to know much about that.

But we do have Lady Gaga.

Sadly I've never been Gaga about her.

In my day you had cars that you could easily maintain yourself. No electonics, a Carburettor (SP?) and points (remember the fun you could have getting the advance/****** just right?) for ignition.

In my day you could buy a starter auto for less than $500 and a just get by on for less that $100. Brand spanking new show off autos were around five grand.

In my day, we used to watch movies using a VCR.

 

[BrickHouse]

In my day things were built to last!

 

[Davdi]

In my day, there were no VCRs, only Black & White TV (with 3 channels in the UK).

I too remember black and white tv with 2 local channels and sometimes we’d get lucky and get a signal or two from over the hill. Then “color overlay “ came out and we’d see blue hair and green teeth. (USA)
