**** things about the 70s,80s,90s...that don't happen now!

All copied from the old RIC rules. My great great grandfather was fined a few months wages and moved across the country for knocking up my great great grandmother. Wasn't allowed marry her for three years after the baby was born. In the 1880s, but the same rules were kept.

He would have lived in staff quarters the entire time so having a wife and kids meant they had to accommodate them too. He did eventually make Sergeant.

A friend of mine worked in the old P&T exchange in Dublin back in the 70’s. He said the office was engulfed in a perpetual cloud of smoke from the amount of people chain smoking in there.

Tar on the walls and ceilings too- obviously a very common thing in old pubs but even private houses- I remember a friends house growing up- both parents smoked like chimneys- their kitchen was literally yellow brown from all the smoke- rank😀

Perverts maybe?

Watching a film or TV show and having no way to figure out where you've seen that face before :)

We used to collect tokens off milk cartons..also the butter packets had tokens (they were rank to hold onto!)......come the end of the year- all the family would pitch in and we would end up with a few thousand tokens or so ...if we were lucky we might get a set of towels or a kettle!

The innocence of it all....people had fùck all in the 80s.. now we have too much...

Driving at night in the countryside during the summer months, the windscreen and bonnet would be covered with dead insects and moths.

Don't notice this any more, maybe due to climate change and far less insects.

We used to call them tobacco vouchers 🚬😁.
