Fish and chips in real newspaper (there was a scare in the 90s about the carbon black in newsprint being potentially carcinogenic so its not used now).
Getting £1 as a kid for fish, chips and mushy peas (it's almost £5 here now!)
Jubliee Stout (nana's favourite tipple)
"Nutty" bar (a toffee wafer bar with peanuts stuck to it, in transparent brown cellophane wrapper) which resembled a turd, probably accounting for its decline in popularity.
Mars / Twix / Bounty / Marathon (old name for Snickers) etc in wax paper wrappers (changed to film in the mid 1980s
Beech Nut chewing gum
Altoids mints
People saying "hello" on the streets. (Tyne & Wear and Northumberland are the only places I have been to recenty where people are still friendly and will still say "morning" to people they pass who they don't know).
AM or MW radio
Laundry blue (came in a little block wrapped in muslin and disappeared about 10 years ago, probably due to the fact nobody has net curtains anymore)
