Nostalgia unfortunately isn't what it used to be.
In order to pay tribute to the good queen Nostagia herself I challenge you to create the world's greatest list of defunct, unwanted and suitably useless things.....

I shall start the bidding with the following entries.....

Dial Telephones
The Bobby on the Beat
Tape cassettes
Kids with manners
Warlord,Victor and Battle (comics)
Pea shooters
Spud guns
Germs, germs were useful too, nowadays kids keel over at the faintest whiff of Streptococci
Tea strainers
Snorkel parkers
White dog poo. Once everywhere and now?
Buying mixed sweets from assorted glass jars on the shelf behind the shopkeeper - and paying with half pennies.
Car indicators :mad:
Saturday Morning Cinema
Bus conductors or clippies
Chips cooked in animal fat
Yellow sherbot, which you licked from your finger
Old Spice and Brut 33...go on Bri..admit it :D
Those old teachers that always smelled of piss when you got near them :crazy:
