Things you wish would return/come back?

My hair.

The original BBC Radio 4 agenda. Since it was re-organized some time back it's been hopeless. Example: Friday Night Is Music Night shunted off to Radio 3?

Oh, and accessible bank branches on every High Street.

Hard toffee that came in a tin tray with a little silver hammer to smash it, and Eat Me dates which came in a long oval balsa wood box (both at Christmas)

Bank branches on High Streets for sure.
Regular local cheap bus services.
Ticket offices at local railway stations.
Accessible GP's surgeries.
Shops where you can try on clothes and shoes.
Department stores where you can wander round looking at stuff you can't afford to keep out of the rain.
I could go on...

Terry’s of York 1767 chocolates - all dark and absolutely delicious!
Comedy shows that are actually funny.
High Streets with independent shops, not all all nail bars, cafes and charity shops.

If you mean Radio 2, where Friday Night Is Music Night was broadcast for decades., I totally agree. Johnnie Walker is due to retire, so this is the last of the greats to leave, and probably time for me to abandon Radio 2 altogether. It's rubbish now and the presenters are boring and only talk about things they like.

I’d like to see the demise of cheap disposable furniture, and a return to solid wood furniture that would be used and cherished for lifetimes.

Now so would I, but when we needed furniture the solid wood furniture (apart from pine) was well beyond our means. The stuff we have now counts as antiques so is doubly valuable.

I really miss the old sitcoms that used to make millions of people laugh. There are hardly any now and none of them are funny.

YesI miss those as well.Reminds me of when my children were young, we would watch them together with my now late husband,Happy days
These sit coms will be considered non PC now, and in danger of causing offence.
Everyone had a good laugh in those days.We used to talk about them at work the next day as well.

My youth and health!!!!! I'd treasure my body if it did.😊

Hardly any traffic

Common sense, honesty, and empathy.

And integrity.

Trains on Sundays

I just mentioned to DH this morning how stores used to be closed on Sundays and how it was more peaceful.

Still pondering the perceived difference between return and come back

Cremola foam was delicious!

Woolworth!

Olivetti Manual Typewriters!

Proper Walnut Whips with the actual walnut on the top!

Crackerjack!

Metal toothpaste tubes.

Oh, Silvercollie, I so miss junket! Killed off by Angel Delight. n Also Rock Salmon (a.k.a. coley), real bread and milk with the cream on top.

Landline phones instead of mobile phones.

I am trying to get the what's left of my life back by NOT being so tally available ALL the time!!!!!

Ajax
Vim
Potato puffs

Vim is still around, isn't it? Mind you, the tub in my bathroom is a few years old, so maybe not. I will add Vim in the old fashioned tube, with the end bit you could take out and make a twirly toy for the kids.

Oh, Labradora - Bourne and Hollingsworth. How I loved that store in the 70s. I could get a lovely sarnie and hot chocolate in the cafe up the top for only 10p.
bought some gorgeous material in there and made a luxurious full length maternity dress, with a big frill round the hem - and gorgeous tailored Jeff Banks shirts (seconds) at brilliant prices.
