Everyday things from back in the day that seem really weird now

Keep it light!

- The fact that you had a book delivered to your house with absolutely every in town's home phone numbers in it (bar a few ex-directory people).

- Not being able to contact people if they weren't in.  Basically make plans and hope they show up in the right place.

- Smoking in offices, pubs, on planes etc.

    Jumping off the bus when it was starting to slow down before your stop. Ditto opening the train doors and jumping out on the platform to try and beat the crowds at Cannon Street.
    Bus drivers leaving the door open to let a breeze into the bus in the summer.
