Fascinating that this man has lived in, preserved and collected everything from the 1940s era.

 

Which era would you like to turn back the clock and live in?

Poppet that is brilliant, if I could go back to any time it would be 60's & 70's, when I was growing up and starting off in work. In saying that though the technology we use now, would make those eras seem so out of touch, not necessarily a bad thing.

If I could turn the clock back, it would be to the 1960's.......

 

Things were much simpler then both in the way you use to live and in technology.

 

Music was exciting and just coming into its own - Hendix, Cream, The Beatles.

 

Then of course there was Flower Power / Hippies........................such good times.

It was also a slower pace of life. Sundays, when just the paper shop and odd local convenience store was open, then closed at 1.00pm. The silence was deafening on Sunday, with hardly any traffic on the road. Whether you were religious or not, the family all stayed home and had Sunday lunch together.

 

I loved those chewing gum machines, Wriggley's and beechnut, which were outside the sweet shops. I also remember the Chrome cigarette machines. These days they'd be gone in no time for the zinc value.

I also loved the marble drinking fountains in the park, at the bottom of the fountains there was a section for your dog to drink out of - how considerate of the Victorians.
