Good manners.
Men taking their hats off when coming into a house/church etc.

I miss having a telephone on a hall stand and perching on the stairs to talk to a boyfriend.
I miss dressing up to go out (I still try but it loses impact when few others do).
I miss my job and the people.

Being able to find someone's address in a phone book.
Directory enquiries (last time I tried) can tell you a company's address but not that of an individual.

1. The smell of steam trains,
2. The sound of men whistling on the way to work
3- The small of a cigar at Christmas.
4- fish and chips in newspaper.
