"If you can play a guitar and harmonica at the same time, like Bob Dylan or Neil Young, you're a genius. But make that extra bit of effort and strap some cymbals to your knees, suddenly people want to get the hell away from you."  --Rich Hall

PDH!

mongers

Conker fights.

Bottles of pop/cider with refunds for the returned bottle.

Just three TV stations, afternoon tv shutdowns, the bedtime close of said TV stations at around 11pm, with the announcer wishing you goodnight, before the TV signal reduced to a white spot and a pure tone sound, to remind you to turn it off.

Politicians wearing hats.

Acrylic and wool clothing have largely gone.

wind-up watches warn by all boys over 9-10 years.

Mechano.

Dodgy handed-down/inherited electric appliances.

Open grate coal-fires and making them, also cleaning them out and sweeping the ash into a packet of newspaper.

Diaries?

Football in the park, with jumpers for goalposts, I could go on.  :P

Wool is making a comeback. I'm wearing wool underpants right now!
