What do you think will go with us older generations?

I’m crocheting some baby bootees at the moment! It’s one of my hobbies now that I’ve retired.

Babies wearing hand knitted clothes wrapped in hand crocheted shawls.

Teapots. I love a teapot though. I'm the only one who uses one that I know now.

Saucers. My DGD, playing with her tea set, asked me what the "little plates" were for! She's only ever seen tea in mugs.

I had no idea that people didn't use washing up bowls. Do they just chuck plates into a metal/ceramic sink or is it the march of the dishwasher?

Manners and politeness rather than rudeness and demands

Libraries are already evolving into places to WFH. Students use them to.plug in their laptops to.study and others come to use the library PCs. You can.get leaflets about local events, though they will.probably be become a thing of the past. Some libraries allow group meetings if there are any separate rooms. Some do toddler books and songs sessions.

Sat Navs in vehicles are a pain. Cost so much to be updated that's if tgey ever bother to update. I use a sat nav that is attached to windscreen. Updated regularly free of charge.

But records are a real novelty let’s face it.

You can buy frozen mashed potato. Saves a lot of work and waste.

My DC at 8 and 10 love cooking/ baking and gardening. They love to grow things from seed and watch the plant grow and why I put things where I do. Do I hope they are trends to stay.

As for table manners and propped family dinners cooked from scratch- mine love a propped family roast on Sundays and love being involved with the cooking. I can’t abide bad table manners so they know to sit and eat nicely at the table, which has a proper cloth on and matching serviettes.

Mine are all good with manners in general as hold doors open and say please/ thank you. Even at two the littlest says please and thank you, tries to hold doors or carry bags for me (more dragged really)

Libraries and books will stay I think. Again from an early age we’ve always used the library regularly and buy proper books for gifts at birthdays/ Easter/ Christmas. We go to the music, rhythm and rhyme toddler group that’s at the library too.

Cheques and landlines will definitely go. I think mostly home lighting will be done remotely so the actual wall switch will be something that is phased out.

My Nan couldn't even deal with answerphones! She'd start talking as soon as she heard the click so you only got half the message. My DH thinks that one day the internet will break and we'll all be up a gum tree, so to speak. I believe we rely on the US military for satnavs in vehicles and they could withdraw it whenever they wished!

I have to say think it will be royal family, as I’ve sat here watching it and my kids grew up watching it but now both married with own families don’t watch it or have any interest in them. I think they will go with our younger generation. Just look at other countries wanting to remove queen as there head. Also newspapers and magazines and books.

Good manners, respect, tolerance, common sense, patience, care for others.

I use linen napkins, as do some of my AC

Period pain, someone must find a cure surely?

Danish gynaecologists are able to stop too heavy periods now, so I imagine stopping period pains is next on the list.

I think, that with our generation the sense that voting at elections is one's duty as a citizen in a democracy and that it is a priviledge those who don't live in democracies fight to gain will die with us.

Unless the war in Ukraine has brought that fact home to those who are younger than we.

Most certainly the monarchy. Thankful I won't be around.

Grammaretto

postage stamps, hand written letters and post boxes.
Washing up bowls (I hadn't realised I was alone in using one until a young visitor tried to remove it from the sink)
Ironing (I hope).
Gender stereotypes.

Many online sellers including myself post orders in postboxes on a daily basis. They’re not just for letters. I don’t think they will be going anywhere,

CD’s and DVD’s and cheque books have gone already from my house….. I would dump the landline if not for husband. Only 2 people call on it …his friends …and we pay an horrendous fee for it! I think newspapers will go quite soon and perhaps cash will only last another 20-30 years!
My wish list for what I’d like to disappear: inequality regarding womens pay and advancement opportunities….. bigotry to all…..homework for kids AND adults …..celebrities….. and that last one includes monarchy!

Sending cards for special occasions.
NHS dental services.
Semolina, junket and tapioca.

Queuing at bus stops and leaving "easy" seats for those who need them. This has already stopped in London but I don't know about other parts of the country. Also sitting a child on your knee to make room for someone else.

Nell8. I still use a Tea Cosy. Tea is always better made in a tea pot and a cosy is essential.

Marks and Spencer

Imperial measurements… unless the Joker still needs us distracted!

An interesting historical artefact that the younger generations can smile & shake their heads over! Afraid I still see inches & feet but have the curtesy to convert when I need to.

I use one - so does my daughter / I’ve also swapped to tea leaves ( no plastic)

As long as we're slow cooked I think a green salad with a light French dressing would go rather well.
