Things you never see now

Little girls wearing summer dresses and sandals. At least, not often you don't. It's nearly all shorts and crocs now.

I remember on the seaside pier a 'What the butler saw' wind up machine lol how tame compared to what's on offer now, a different world, a better one I think.

The day the trams stopped running in Glasgow in 1961? My dad put pennies on the track to be squashed …one for each of us.I still have mine .

Our station vending machine had Cadbury's chocolate bars for 3d and 6d.

Yes I remember going into the shoe shop and looking down at your feet in xray machine at least you could tell if your feet had plenty of room lol.

The x-ray machines were banned in the 1950s

Those machines in shoe shops which x-rayed our feet.

Vending machines on the railway platform for Fry's chocolate, there was one that was five different flavours.

They are still around, I’ve seen a few of these machines recently, there is one at Cadbury World, and one at Crich Tramway museum that I know of, and I think I remember one at the Eden Project too, but I could be wrong there.

Me too.

I used to like putting coins in the head of a model of a yellow Labrador with a bandaged paw RSPCA which stood outside a shop.

It didn’t look as quaint as the pic above.

Those were the days, when kids were so easily pleased, I used to be so happy if Mum or Dad came home with a comic and a few sweets for me😃
I think I remember seeing one of those doodahs NanKate at a railway station platform.

Like this?

A metal label embossing machine. They were made by the British Automatic Company.
