Memories for a few of us Oldies:-

Mum cooked every day and when Dad got home from work, We sat down together at the dining room table, & if I didn't like what she put on my plate, I was allowed to sit there until I did like it.

Some parents NEVER owned their own house, wore Levis , set foot on a golf course, travelled out of the country or had a credit card.

My parents never drove me to school. I had a bicycle that weighed probably 50 pounds, and only had one speed, (slow).

We didn't have a television in our house until I was 10. It was, of course, black and white, and the station went off the air at 11, after playing the national anthem

I never had a telephone in my room. The only phone was on a party line. Before you could dial, you had to listen and make sure some people you didn't know weren't already using the line.

Pizzas were not delivered to our home, but milk was & so was bread.

All newspapers were delivered by boys and all boys delivered newspapers -- my brother delivered a newspaper, six days a week. He had to get up at 5 AM every morning.

Movie stars kissed with their mouths shut. At least, they did in the movies! There were no movie ratings because all movies were responsibly produced for everyone to enjoy viewing, without profanity or violence or most anything offensive.

Do you remember:-
1. Sweet cigarettes
2 Using hand signals for cars without turn signals
3. Home milk delivery in glass bottles
4. Party lines on the telephones
5. Newsreels before the movie
6. TV test patterns that came on at night after the last show and were there until TV shows started again in the morning. (there were only 3 channels!! [ if you were fortunate])
7. Pea shooters
8 Soldering irons you heat on a gas burner
9 . 45 RPM records
10. 78 rpm records
11. Hi-fi records 33 1/3 rpm
12. Metal ice trays with lever
13. Blue flashbulbs
14. Cork popguns
15. Using hand signals for cars without turn signals
16. Wash tub wringers


We might be old but those memories are some of the best parts of our lives….

ChelseaFred...I remember some of those...gosh..where have all those years gone...Life didn't seem so hectic then...My parents had a moggie 1000 with a split windscreen..Had chrome bumpers..We had a black and white TV...No computers, playstations, mobiles..I had jigsaws and matchbox cars to play with and at xmas we had a stocking with fruit and nuts in it..I used to think that it was such a treat...:D

I have spent 2 hours looking for a white windproof jacket or jumper today...It was virtually impossible to find...but...I managed to find a jumper...:j..I needed one for bowls..I did see a windproof jacket but £130:eek:...I think they were having a laugh at that price..:rotfl::rotfl: I checked the pockets in case there was something very expensive in them for it to be that price...:rotfl::rotfl:

I also notice that in clothes shops 90% is directed at woman and the choice for men is very poor..Come on retailers us men like a selection of clothes too...Don't be so sexist...and where are our sales rails...:rotfl::rotfl:

No luck with the bargains to be had in Morries...disappointed I went and bought six oak veneer doors for the house...I thought I'd better start putting a door or two on some of the rooms...Visitors have no doors on the bathrooms or toilet....:rotfl::rotfl:..Can be embarrasing if someone lets go of something quite loud...:rotfl::rotfl:..or pongy...:o

I am orf in the garden for a bit...I think I can get a few hours in before I'm out this evening..Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful day..It is 19 degrees here...My DS tells me its 20 in Southampton and my DD tells me its 12 degrees in West Wales...

The only cash flow issue is that he has an offset mortgage and any monies in the account are hived off to be in his current account to offset the mortgage. It is a car/van hire and sales business and he takes a £100.00 deposit for hire and when the vehicle is returned he returns the money but even that he drags his heels on as he is loath to let money leave his account and I regularly have to remind him to do them as I update the system every Tuesday. All the other 3 staff get paid monthly but he pays them some each week and balances it up at end of the month. Business is a bit quieter at the moment but I have plenty to do with year end and VAT. Even VAT not straightforward as he wants it to be a certain figure each quarter so I have to manipulate the figures to suit. And yes we did discuss reducing my hours when I asked for more money which I consider a cheap shot.

to me, it all seems so dodgy - his own personal finances muddled up with the business ones - I thought the 2 sets had to be very separate. I know someone who had personal expenses go through the business account and they got into trouble with HMRC - later when she won a lot of euros in a casino when abroad she had to keep them at home, not bank them, so terrified of getting into mither with HMRC again.

I thought you could set up to pay VAT fees monthly?

it all feels very wrong and not paying wages properly and on time is a red flag, I would be very worried about being implicated in a situation and HMRC thinking you are concluding with boss and his business practices.
