Oh I don't know, DanniRae, I think physical photos are making a comeback.

Phone boxes.
Table manners.
Daily papers.
Land lines.
The Theatre.
Hopefully all those Woke and Snowflake people.
Rubbish polititions { can but hope }.
A good old sunday roast.

Church attendance, maybe not gone, but much diminished.
Many more churches closed.

Formal Dinner parties
Women's magazines

Like others, I think cash and landlines.

I think I could manage without cash although would not wish to do so but I should hate not to have a landline.

Ladies ruining their hair by getting regular perms.

Bellanonna Wed 01-Jun-22 10:46:09

Do perms still happen?

Bellanonna Wed 01-Jun-22 10:47:23

Very high heels

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 01-Jun-22 10:47:32

Yes, I have a friend the same age as HM who doesn't feel tidy without her regular perm.

Callistemon21 Wed 01-Jun-22 10:50:42

I have a friend in her 80s who still has perms.
They are very loose and I wouldnt have known if she hadn't said.

Chestnut Wed 01-Jun-22 11:00:31

Well there is no need for perms any more because it's fashionable to look like you've just got out of bed and haven't brushed your hair. The hairstyles you see on TV are appalling!

The monarchy to be replaced with an elected Head of State

Ladies ruining their hair by getting regular perms.

Fashions come and go but then sometimes make a comeback.

When perms had gone out of fashion suddenly, in the late 80s, they became all the rage again with young people and teenagers, both male and female!
I remember DD and all her friends having large, very curly perms and they still laugh when they look at old photos of themselves.

I use it
But I am very old ?

MyDGS has just had a perm-a light one to ‘give it some movement on top’!

Jane43 Wed 01-Jun-22 11:48:29

Mollygo your Grandson is following fashion as we all did in our youth. My hairdresser tells me that a lot of young men are having perms, apparently the style is to have very short/shaved hair at the sides and curls on top.

My youngest daughter loves this. We have to buy via Amazon. Hardly any in shops any more. I like it as well, actually.

VioletSky Wed 01-Jun-22 11:50:47

I i used to love talcom powder, I had one with a big puff and it made your skin feel smooth...

Chocolatelovinggran Wed 01-Jun-22 11:53:40

Talcum powder is the go to product for removing sand from small people after a beach visit: in use here all the time! ?

Vintagejazz Wed 01-Jun-22 11:55:10

Have those sets you used to see on the Chemist shops at Christmas, with talc and bath cubes, gone completely out of fashion? I don't think I've seen any for years and years.

Elizabeth27 Wed 01-Jun-22 11:57:35

The NHS.

DanniRae Wed 01-Jun-22 11:59:34

I use Johnsons baby talcum powder and have no problem getting it smile
