One for us older members (I’m 62). Are there any things that you tell your grandchildren; or students if you are a teacher; or things you can imagine, that they really can’t believe.
My students can’t believe that firstly, I only had one bath a week, and the cleansing agent was Fairy Liquid. Secondly, most people didn’t have a shower in the house. Thirdly, that the hygiene regime was augmented at secondary school when we had to take naked communal showers twice a week.
The other one is that there were only two TV channels, in black and white.
What things happened to you as a kid that young people find astonishing today?
