"I've met several people ( when I was very young/ a little kid) that were born in the 1800's."

My great aunt, who passed when I was 11, was born in 1892. My great uncle, who passed when I was 9, was a survivor of the Battle of Delville Wood on the Somme (1st SA Infantry Division suffered 80% casualties holding the Wood). My grandfather was a driver in the invasion of German South West Africa in WW1.

Had a top loader video recorder and rented ET from Block Busters as our first film. We had a remote for it but you had to plug it in and not sit too far away as it wouldn't reach.

It was easier choosing channels when there were only 4. Just annoying you to had to get up and walk across the room to press the massive clunky buttons to change them.

It was even easier when there were only three, and one of those used to shut down for hours at a time and just play the test card

Danger mouse was the cartoon to watch when I was a kid, street lights on was the time to get home. 50p electric meters and dial up phones and my mum made us watch The Waltons on a Sunday.
