The noise a modem made when it connected.

Recording music off the radio and trying to miss the bits where the DJ overspoke the song.

We called that Knifey. If the kids played that these days, they'd probably be put in care.

Travelling around Europe when there were border controls and stamps in passports. ( for those old enough to have known Europe before the countries lost their individual identities in the EU )

Having driven through 6 EU countries, East and West, over 2 months end of last year, I can gaurantee their identities are still very much in tact. It is The UK that has lost it's identity to multiculturalism and big business. For example, most butchers in Bristol have closed over the years. You now have more chance of finding a halal maximum cruelty butchers shop.
