    Checking in at the airport and being asked "smoking or non smoking."
    Smokers had to sit at the back of the plane and there was a little ashtray on the back of the seat in front of you.
    Its mad to think that we used to be able to smoke on planes.

    What were those clacker things, two hard balls on a string and they were rebound back and fore. There was always a set hanging on overhead telephone wires as well.

    Think they were just called clackers.

    Clackers, also known as Knockers and Click Clacks, consisted of two large acrylic balls, which hung on either end of a heavy string. The two balls would swing apart and together, making the loud clacking noise that gave the toy its name. If swung too hard, the acrylic balls would shatter, sending flying shrapnel everywhere.

    Clackers were banned in 1985.

    The harder trick was untangling the ****ers after an unsuccessful stair walk.
