It's not just youngsters that are daft.
As you've probably read elsewhere, I've recently broken up with my girlfriend & moved into a rented room. I'm a Postman & deliver to the house I'm living in.
I had a parcel for my landlady this morning, so instead of ringing the doorbell, I let myself in with my key & walked into the lounge with it. She was chatting to another old lady who was visiting.
Is this a new Post Office service then Andy?
Yup, we deliver right to your sofa now.
I couldn't believe it when the other lady said Really?
No. Not really.
I should've just said yes & walked back out.

A friend of mine is a primary school teacher, and she asked a class of (I think 8 year olds) where chips come from, expecting the answer to be potatoes. The answer was "the freezer miss". She explained the theory of the older folk, that its actually potatoes, to a class of somewhat confused youngsters................. bless.......... Anyone remember the Monty Python sketch featuring "Bicycle Repair Man" ? In a land of superheroes, only BRM could actually mend bicycles, to the amazement and awe of the general population ---- anyone starting to see the similarities  ? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U01xasUtlvw |

First memory of colour TV was coming home from primary school one day to find the Beatles on the telly, playing live. I watched for several minutes before it suddenly dawned on me that they were in colour! I also vividly remember my parents camping out in the living room in sleeping bags to watch the drama of the Apollo 13 mission unfold, cos there was only one TV in the house.
When I were ladd....... we didn't have a telly at the time, and we went to our neighbours to watch the moon landing, with seemingly half the street as well.
And I used to sleep in t'box int middle of road!

0nly one tv ,kids today would think they were living in poverty
I remember being the first family on our estate to have a colour tv
thats only cos mum worked at baird televisions and could smuggle bits out one or two components at a time the only thing that had to be bought was the cabinet
god only knows how the tube was smuggled out

I was talking to the kids about cheese the other day, the reason escapes me but when I mentioned Goats and Sheep milk cheese some of the kids thought that I was taking the p1ss. They really didn't know that all mammals produce milk. They thought that new born lambs ate grass and only grass. You can imagine how they got really confused when I mentioned mice and kittens drinking milk, and not the stuff from the local supermarket in plastic containers. I got replies like... " Mice don't produce milk ...baby mice eat cheese that their mum's get for them.  |
