No.
In the middle 90s I tried to leave the building trade and became a milkman sorry delivery person
And it was the hardest 6 months ever.
I used to start at 11.30 pm and apart from Tuesday I'd be lucky to get home by 3pm the following day, every Monday you'd get to work and if they'd been out canvassing for new customers you would have another 20/30 new deliveries to do.
I had almost 700 on my round by the time I quit, it was soul destroying honestly if I'd been offered it on a plate I genuinely wouldn't have had the energy.

Before we had one cup tea bags, you could make a whole pot full of tea out of 2 or 3 bags. Clever marketing has us using one tea bag per cup of tea now, so creasing profits for the tea companies. |

Was talking about this not long ago with a friend and apparently it's to do with pet food being more regulated and not using crushed bone for a filler. I don't know how true this is but it has to be foodsafe for human consumption. Even if it just meets the basic standards |

A bag of chips wrapped in newspaper.
PC games that came in big cardboard boxes with manuals.
Going to the cinema early because Screen 1 premieres were often sold out.
Knocking on someone's door and asking to use their telephone.
Seeing men in hats and wearing trouser braces and elderly couples dressed in their Sunday best almost every day.
When each decade could be defined by its fashion.
In the early 2000's all the guys I knew wore opened collared formal shirts and a chain necklace. The smart and sexy look. These days I can't event tell what is the modern male trend. Hoodies and facemasks? Hard to tell what year it is. When I look back at Google street view to 2015, 2010, 2008 the fashion seems to improve or at least become more consistent the further I rewind as the new buildings come down and the old demolished buildings come back up.
On a related note has anyone been caught on Google street view going into a swingers club?  |

The art of good conversation.
I've been running bars in the UK for decades and have seen what smart phones have done to people.
Everywhere I look in the bar, I see groups of friends and couples sitting together in silence just scrolling through some crap on their phones instead of talking to eachother.
It's really sad to see. |

"Sugar puffs!"
Still made, I think they are called Honey monster or Honey puffs now.
Morrisons definitely sell them, I occasionally get a pack from there. |

Public telephones and not just in boxes either. Some of the pubs i used to go in had one so you could call for a taxi |

Kids having their birthday party at McDonalds and if you'd been really good, Ronald McDonald himself would show up. If you hadnt been that good you still had the chance of winning the colouring in competition, to win the best prize ever.... a tour of the McDonalds kitchens 🥳🥳🥳 |

Thundersley Invacar I think they were called, some were also made by AC. A genuine AC Cobra these days is worth millions, hardly think the invacar would fetch the same 🤣 |
