In the event of a major blackout, the boredom from lack of internet would kill me. I might have to put my shoes on and go play outside!
You'll be lucky. If a major blackout should occur, there wouldn't be any street lighting on outside. So, you'd need a torch if you are intending to go and "play outside", lol.In the event of a major blackout, the boredom from lack of internet would kill me.

My late grandparents used to have one of those things in the photo. They used to call it a "music centre" for some reason. They also had a TV inside a cabinet. I haven't seen them in anyone elses' homes since then.Televisions in a wooden cabinet and radiograms.

Barbers that have Readers Digest magazine for the one hour wait and sell johnies.

Either way, I wouldn't know, lol. That would be something that only my father or my grandfather would know about. It certainly didn't happen during my lifetime, lol.I used to think "why only the weekend?"
Now I am older and wiser, I'm like "something for Christmas sir?!"

... Or the wooden boxes of dates that used to be sold in the run up to Xmas ( its one of the few things my Dad got really giddy about - his Xmas box of dates)
Yes, dates in wooden boxes are fabulous, that is a a Christmas staple in my book.You don't now see the aerosol cans of fake spray snow that you used to get for Xmas window decorating (the other thread about supermarkets already flogging Xmas Tat was what made me think of it )
