I can remember my mum saving the wrapper off of the bread to wrap my dads sandwiches in to take to work. We never had any plastic bags, mum used newspaper to line the bottom of her shopping basket (trug) and put the veg from the grocer straight into it. She would go shopping on foot and go most days so as to keep things fresh, we didn't have a fridge. The rubbish went straight into the metal dustbin and was collected weekly. We walked to school, I can't remember any house owning more than one car, I can recall many homes that didn't own a car. We never used fountain pens, we had plastic bomb shaped biro style pens. These were only available to the older children, the younger years used pencils. I'm glad they are only memories, so many loved ones would be gone today without the progress of technology.

I still do this myself sometimes - use a bread wrapper to wrap up my sandwiches. Most often these are plastic bags but sometimes the old style waxed paper wrappers.
My parents never had a car when I was young. It was only later on, many years after I had left home, that my mum learnt to drive. My dad still doesn't drive. We used to have to get the bus into town or walk. And my grandad (who did have a car) used to take my mum shopping for her weekly shop. Holidays always involved my grandparents because they were the only ones with a car. And holidays were always in the UK. Going to Florida - or even Spain - was definitely out of the question.

I’m not a 60s or 70s child but what are these buses etc that people talk about?
I lived in a village where we had 3 buses a week - one return trip on 3 separate days to specific towns, you got that bus or you didn’t go and if you missed it then good luck!

Buses with conductors round here, if you didn’t have the right money they let you off paying or if they liked you!
