  Older Than Dirt Quiz:
 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 must be 'positively ancient' but those memories are some of the best parts of my life.
 
Don't forget to pass this along!! 
Especially to all your really OLD friends....I just did!!!!!!!!!
  
(PS. I used a large type face so you lot could read it easily)

Bloody 'ell Jacko, .. like you, I must be 'positively ancient' The only one I dont remember for certain is the news reels before the movie !!! One item not on there, is the 'copper', that my gran used to do the boil wash in .. .. There was even a 'copper stick' that was used to churn it all about with. For the youngsters reading this .. the copper stick was NOT a a length of copper, but a piece of wood around 2 feet long (600mm) Lol   I have deliberately not bothered to use large font so you're gonna have to get your glasses out LOL
