I remember the trim phone well. We had one just after they were available. They had a wheel on the side with two options, Loud and Soft. When it was delivered, Celia, bless her, screamed out "We are not having that! You can take that back right away! They've spelled our name wrong!" The wheel was on Loud. We are blessed with the name Lloyd.

The days are long gone when 'fitted kitchen' referred to a green painted cabinet (usually full of crumbs) with reeded glass doors and a drop down front panel 3'x2' on which every kitchen chore was done. The kitchen also had an 'airing rack' on pulleys. The alternative to that, no such thing as a tumble dryer, was to stand the clothes direct from the garden washing line in the corner until they thawed out. (It were reet cowled up thur).

One size TV screen (14") which you, to see the Coronation procession last more than three hosses, had to have a convex plastic extension over it. The view other than from directly in front was weird. We were the only house in the street that had a TV so all the other kids came in and sat on the floor in front of it.
