Things rarely seen anymore

[Sheepskin Stu]

Does anyone still have a woman going round their office with a tea trolley selling biscuits and cakes etc?

[Mike_F]

We had a tea lady at the last company I worked for. It's the only place I've ever seen it though.

If anybody mentions white dog shit I'll scream. Oops, I just did it. Aaaaarrggghhhhh. That's better.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

A milkman.  I remember when I was younger seeing loads of them, now nobody has their milk delivered.

[Mike_F]

Where are the youth of today meant to find post-binge sustenance whilst wandering home at 4am if there's no milk float to loot? The world's gone mad I tells ya!

[Bentley Bullet]

Youth clubs. Elmfield (Emmy) house used to be the 'in place'when I were a lad.....are there any nowadays?

[Sheepskin Stu]

My local convenience store is a class act but fails to stock confectionary from the good people at Bonds.

Bonds Confectionary. The confectionary you can trust.

Sparrows - There used to be clouds of them in the 70s, rarely seen now

Donkey Jackets - Again a 70s staple, now almost completely vanished

The Pale Blue 'Spaz Chaz' - Sadly missing from football grounds today, sadly replaced by the mobility scooter.

You don`t see these offensive weapons at the Football any more

[River Don]

Once a common sight at Belle Vue.

[Bentley Bullet]

Songs containing violent intent towards opposing fans, such as \"you're gonna get your f*ck*ng head kicked in\", and \"you're going home ina Yorkshire ambulance\".
Also toilet rolls are no longer thrown at the goal after a team scores!

That's nothing short of an outrage, Stu. Who are these fools?!

Ice Cream Bikes

[Barmby Rover]

As Half Man Half Biscuit say:

\"Even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch
Even men with steel hearts love to see a dog on the pitch
It generates a warmth around the ground that augurs well for mankind
And that’s what life’s about

Trouble is these days you never see a dog on the pitch.\"

It reminds me of going to Cantley to my Grandparents place and having the walls man come round,blowing a whistle. He used to sell the oblong blocks of icecream in rectangular shaped cones (if that makes sense).
