I used to hate Sundays! It was the worst day of the week... Most businesses were closed and it was such a long and boring day. We only had three TV channels. BBC had Songs of Praise and other religious claptrap for the daytime. In the evening, it was Jim Bowen's Bullseye. That was it. Soul-destroying stuff.

Maybe early 70's, does anyone remember the Alpine lemonade truck deliveries?

Yes, very similar to the Schofield set up. Also Corona bottles with money back on the bottle cap!

You took your own newspaper to the chippy? "Throw some mushy peas all over Samantha Fox there girl, loads of salt"

Not having the heating on with single glazed windows, toilet water turning to ice, seeing your own breath

Not being bothered about it at all, in the slightest, not one bit. Loved it. Not affected by it all, I just fancy telling people on twitter 40 years later. Loved it at the time, it was really good. No nanny state. Loved the cold

This has given me flashbacks to my old shared house in Muswell Hill. Bearing in mind I moved there in 2015, it was all single glazed rotten sash windows and solid brick walls with no insulation.

The landlord ripped up all the carpets up and just left the floor boards exposed. The staircase was like climbing a ladder and you could only fit about half your foot on each tread before your toes got a stabbing from the carpet grippers she never bothered to remove.
