My mum.

Absence of doors. Seriously we only had a door on the toilet. Even the bathroom has a curtain but not a door.

Landline telephone.

Hot water tank - I don't miss having to wait an hour for a bath.

My Mum, but the walking, talking variety. She is in my home now but is unfortunately ashes.

A TV that had a wooden surround.

The plot, that has completely departed.

Innocence.

Crock sink and cold tap only -open fires - outside bog. We were lucky, houses over the road shared a outside bog.

Carpet in the bathroom and toilet.

Looking back that was pretty grim with 3 boys growing up in the house.
