How old are you? « Posted: 25 October 2011 at 07:40 PM »
"How old are you?" 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
15. Spud Guns
16.Conkers(before they were DANGEROUS)


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 11-16 = You're positively ancient!
 
PS I have done the quiz - but - I've quite forgotten my score . . .  Grin

The father of a friend of mine had records that played at 162/3 rpm.  That's 18!

Wash boards and copper boilers (out back)
Smelly sticky coal (yes that black stuff mum and dad burnt on an open fire) which you chewed when they weren't looking

I scored 13.  But my own milkman still delivers in glass bottles so that didn't call for much of a memory feat.  I also remember Jack Frost painting the inside of windows, and burning the little black rocks for heat, and several other things not on the list (like one, two, three & four star petrol, each one a penny more than the last), so that makes me even more ancient!

Isn't this topic a bit like the "Memories. Do you remember?" topic?
