Saw a facebook post and some comments were quite funny.

Those were the days....

Back in my day there was no internet so if you didn't know what the capital of Mali* was you just had to fuckin' deal with it until you remembered three weeks later, but by then couldn't remember why you wanted to know.

Back in my day the only internet we had was called Encarta which actually had sounds, pictures and video clips.

Back in my day you went to the pub and speculated about all the hudreds of topics available to you without someone pulling out a smart phone a killing the conversation dead.

Back in my day, we could find an available user name in 20 tries or less!

Back in my day it took at least 5 minutes to get online and no one else could use the telephone or it would cut you off.

Back in my day Google used to be an internet only thing!....Now finish your Google-O's, it's time for bed. It's well past Google.

back in my day, we used to pay to read yesterday's news.

Please continue...

Back in my day we had these places called "libraries" where you could find "books".

Back in my day we only had four TV channels.

Back in my day if you wanted to see porn you had to hope you'd find an old mag in a hedge.

Back in my day whites were not a minority.

Back in my day we had something called common and statute law, not the Sharia law we have now.

Back in my day there wouldn't be a muezzin call 5 times a day everyday waking you up at all hours.

Back in my day women were allowed to vote and could wear anything they wanted not these burkas your sister has to wear all the time.

Back in my day...

You could only watch 3D in blue and red.

Petrol cost 0.70p

You could go to the pub with a £20.00, get paraletic, go to the local kebab shop and get the largest kebab, and still come home with money.

A pint cost £1.20

Children's tv presenters weren't peadophiles

The British government was a right cunt (let's hope it changes)
