Fish and chips, when the fish cost less than the chips.
Dark skies at night so you could see the stars.
Boddingtons beer, when it tasted nice.
Being deaf after seeing Deep Purple or whoever in concert. Oh yeah, music was really loud in those days. I mean, really loud.
Flat bed council trucks in winter with blokes on the back shovelling grit onto the roads and pavements when it had been snowing.
Roads without potholes.
Young guys thinking a Ford Cortina 1600 was a powerful car.
Nylon shirts, and Steelworks by Booths of Bolton.

Chair in the corridor or porters trolley in a&e is more accurate.
