Things that are not as good as The Good Old Days

For me chocolate biscuits have much less choc on them.

This could be the longest list ever...

On the subject of your suggestion, it's pretty ridiculous how bloody small everything is when food shopping now. I noticed the other day that the standard size for a block of cheddar seems to have fallen to 350g (it used to be 500g). Such an underhand way of doing business. Also, did you know that the tins of Roses, Quality Street etc. are approaching HALF the size of what they used to be!

W.anking it just doesn't have the same appeal for me nowadays.

If the good old days are the 90s, then they aren't as good as the good old days' good old days, which were the 70s

You should try it on yourself.

And when did wagon wheels shrink

Exactly what I was thinking last night.

The tins(?) of Roses Celebrations and Qualiy Street for Christmas have less in them this year. The only things that dont change are postage stamps a 1p stamp is still 1p etc but gets less for the money.

 

[El Sid]

Chocolate bar wrappers have got bigger.

 

[moggy]

The demise of the corner shop

Cars are much better but driving and parking is not as good as the old days.

 

[Durlston]

Football hooliganism.

CCTV has killed it.

One of the biggest increases I would think is in Fish and Chips pre decimal 6d of chips became 6p with decimalisation and now paying £1.20 plus for a portion of chips.

With the probability I'll appear to be Victor Meldrew, there is hardly anything that is as good as it was, bar gadgetry, techno stuff. Nearly all food products taste of nothing, seems everything now is aimed at giving less for more. Oh Well.

Paul Weller. Even when he sings his old songs, he destroys them:

 

[Durlston]

Ecstasy and MDMA.

The first few times are the best even if it's not as pure. Definitely to do with serotonin in the brain.

 

[HovaGirl]

Telly is not so good as the gold old days. Strictly X-factor's Got Talent Gemmeoutahere. Meh.

 

[BadFish]

Nostalgia.

 

[BadFish]

Illogical and irrational hatred

 

[BadFish]

Polio

Everything. I can remember when you could go out for the evening, drink 8 pints of Old Thumper, have fish and chips on the way home and still get change out of a farthing.
