Ginster's Italiano Pasties,

Nabisco Original Golden Nuggets (not the crappy Nestle rip-offs).

Proper Curly Whirly (about the size of a loft ladder and under 10p...the sodding Kraft Trade Federation are going to discontinue even the mini version now they have taken over Cadbury's).

Blake's 7

British Manufacturing Industry

Full Student Grants

Open Fires as largely the standard (heat in a fuel cut or near apocalyptic crisis guaranteed, not like stupid gas central heating).

A Royal Navy large enough to defend an island state actually defending it.

Common Sense (where did that one go?).

Space 1999 and Dracula ice lollies.

Mint Choc-Ices in all cinema screenings.

Telephones that can not be carried in pockets and are screwed to a wall (I don't want to hear someone else taking a dump when I'm trying to get them to lower the price of my gas bill...it was kind of novel the first time but it's starting to sound malicious).

My Teeth,

The Grocer van, the rag and bone man, the chimney sweep, the milk float (milk deliveries in bottles come to think of it), the toffee apple man and all their vaguely satanic sounding sales chants.

The key for the wind up Robbie The Robot I got the better half three years ago for Christmas, which vanished about five minutes after being unwrapped.

All the family, friends and pets and talented entertainers that mortality has robbed me of making new memories with.

The ability to eat grapefruit muesli Prize Guy yogurts.
