Today on the community reporters course we’re learning about social media.
Been sitting here for a while contemplating this article…
Actually, with so many of us on the computers I saw something I’ve not seen in a while.
The green bar at the bottom of the screen telling me a page is loading up.
It’s made me think (while I wait for the Pinterest page to load) what else don’t we see anymore…
The choke button on cars – went to start the work car the other day and realised how now-a-days I expect it to start first time after sitting still for days.
Paper dolls – Oh Bunty for girls, I do miss you.
Kipper Ties (although my dad still has a couple)
Playing with the telephone cord while on the phone.
Crying child paintings and stories of houses catching fire.
Oh the good old days.
Am starting to sound old, but I like looking back. It makes me appreciate the super fast fibre optic internet world I live in and makes me regret some of the slower, more fun times.
Anyway, page loaded now.
Would be nice to know what others miss/don’t miss

I miss Sunday afternoons when nothing was open so you had permission to do nothing, relax and rest.
I miss football matches all being played at 3pm on Saturdays, even the FA Cup Final!
British wrestling on Saturday afternoons.
My mum and dad. My children being little. All the lovely animals I have owned over the years. My flat stomach.
I miss my dogs when I lived in Middleton.
Taking them into the park, which my home then overlooked Middleton Park, so not far to walk.
Down a foot path one side was park, other side was golf course. Those were the days.
