Count all the ones that you remember, not the ones you were told about.
Ratings at the bottom.

1. Sweet cigarettes
2. Coffee shops with juke boxes
3. Home milk delivery in glass bottles
4. Party lines on the telephone
5. Newsreels before the movie
6. TV test patterns that came on at night after the last show and were there until TV shows started again in the morning... (There were only 2 channels [if you were fortunate])
7. Peashooters
8. 33 rpm records
9. 45 RPM records
10. Hi-fi's
11. Metal ice trays with levers
12. Blue flashbulb
13. Cork popguns
14. Wash tub wringers

If you remembered 0-3 = You’re still young
If you remembered 3-6 = You are getting older
If you remembered 7-10 = Don't tell your age
If you remembered 11-14 = You're positively ancient!

I'm 0-3...possibly 3-6. I remember the BBC testcard thing with the girl with the long dark hair. Would that be what it means?

I'm on the ancient list myself I'm afraid'. :lol:

I suppose the hair colour depended on the TV screen you had. There were light screens and dark screens. The darker screens where supposed to give you a clearer sharper picture. LOL ! Not that I noticed.

The older TV screens were 12 inch but our first one was 17 inches and we thought we were the bees knees. :P
