Born 1967, so talking 70's and back then, probably. Was an era of which people saved over credit (which was very hard to get), we had glass bottles that had deposits for recycling before plastic moved en masse and a car was a luxury item. Didn't have a phone as couldn't afford it and when we could, thanks to TV messages of hackers of doom taking over the planet and me owning a computer - my mum wasn't going to enable that. Oh and we walked to school and was rare for kids to be driven to school, indeed they had the piss taken out of them for being lazy by the other kids.

How times have changed - not all for the better.

[edit add] Oh and we had no central heating until my teens, and frozen ice inside the single window pains during winter(double glazing - luxury item then).
