Things we just don't seem to do any more

What other customs from grandparents era do you miss and would be a novel and possibly life enhancing thing to reintroduce?

Hanging.
Smallpox.
Being able to leave your front door open (as you had no possessions).
Green Fields.
The war.
Bigotry.
Death for 60% by retirement age.

Collecting gollywogs, my gf is to scared to display them in the house lest anyone calls the police.

Shop near me started selling them last year ! They're called 'Jolly Gollys' now rather than their proper name.

Sitting at home on the sick list. Ordered to rest. Look like Ploppy out of blackadder.

I noticed our old teapot in the cupboard. Quite excited about a proper cup of tea. Don't know how or why I ever switched to tea bags. Convenience I spose, but you can taste the paper.

Maybe you should while away the dull hours doing a series of blind taste tests.

I'm no expert, but in regard to how you got this fecked up I'd say we definately have a smoking gun.
