"There were no digital cameras. Some of the 'out takes' were hillarious but sadly now lost due to the delete option.  "
I'm sure many would agree that they are glad there isn't an insta proof of some of their youth. |

And there was always such and such mates who tagged along. Now you kind of ask permission to ask extras. Think it was a lot more friendly minus mobile phones. |

"Life was more interesting... when you caught someone looking at you in a pub, and you didn't have to read their profile "
You read their body language much more interesting |

I think life was more interesting when you believed in santa and the tooth fairy. And when you would watch Toy Story and keep a very close eye on all of your toys. I guess just being a kid and not knowing so much about the world.

"Life was more interesting when public sex was riskier.
Is it not now?
I think it's more expected these days to be honest."
To be fair, there's not much else to do in Devon  |

When porn mags were grown in hedges, we used jumpers for goal posts, and Dorothy Valance (the vicars wife) used to raise money for the church roof by sitting on your face and asking you to guess her weight. |

"You arranged to meet someone out at a particular place. If they didn't show up, you had absolutely no way of contacting them or finding them "
So you waited patiently more or less. Then got home and wrote letters which never got sent. Wondered and suffered |

"You couldn't plan anything. You went out, saw who was about & let things go from there... "
This. It still happens if you go to the right things. Evolves in the moment & often even better than expected.
Especially now when people have been starved of being with people after isolation.
All the sweeter. |

You had to be more resourceful to find what you wanted. More choice doesn't always mean better choices."
Absolutely. You end up like a banknote changed into a lot of copper. Weighing your pockets down. |

"You had no choice but to go out to eat
As in no take aways or home deliveries ?
Are we going as far back as hunting and nomad days ? "
Yeah I love going out to eat, it's so much more social. Though I wouldn't mind going back to hunter/gathering, wandering around in a loin cloth  |

I love planning but should try this sometime! I used to have a friend who would make me wander with her. Sadly she moved away. |

"I had to get on my bike or walk 2 mile to see if pieface was coming out to play   "
I lived sort of outside of the village. They would come to me
We had cakes. Pies and biscuits. Probably that's why |

Thank you for your good wishes! I definitely need them. If only we had a government whose policies were ending the pandemic rather than dragging it out for as long as possible. |
