12 everyday items from the past

[Sapana]

We lived in a small village which had a party line. There was one woman who everyone else was sure listened in to everyone's conversations, but there was no way to prove it.

Until one day someone having a phone call heard the distinctive sound of a chiming clock in the background. There was only one person in the village who had a chiming clock so she proceeded to tear strips off this woman for being so damn nosey.

I used to wear mini skirts (not so very mini then) & bell bottoms (never again, bloody things got in the way) but never had a lava lamp. Had a corduroy suit though at one point & boots.

Lilith, I have to ask what did bell bottoms get in the way of 

The push bike chain mostly.
