List of things you don't see nowadays...

[EternalOptimist]

I saw some of those little boxes of "sweet cigarettes" in a shop the other day. You know, the white things about three inches long with red dye on one end.

They've ditched the red dye and just call them "candy sticks" now, so sweet cigarettes can be added to the list, though their pure white ghost lingers on

'sweet tobacco'

in little pretend tobacco pouches. I have no idea what the ingredients were

- Tea pots (in private houses) Everyone uses mugs these days and/or drinks coffee

- Electric bar heaters - have one for green tea

- Hand-pushed lawnmowers - available from Argos

- Non-cordless phones - have 4 in the house so I can find one, the cordless phones get littered

- Rag and bone men (with a horse and cart)

- Rover cars - still a few round here

disagree on many

- Rag and bone men (with a horse and cart)

Yes they still exist, except now they drive around in a pickup and are mainly looking for scrap metal. I see one almost every time I visit the North.

White dog-poo

Because owners clear it up these days.

I don't see AndyW these days.

Following on from the earlier thread I CBA linking....

4. Orange Juice in Milk Bottles

That's still around. I had to flag down a milkman very early in the morning last week and get one off him whilst walking to the station.
I was still a bit pissed from the night before and desperate for a drink.
