Maybe, but I do wish I could have a hair-style, rather than just a number

I miss the fields. I remember when all this was fields.
When I was a lad we used to get up at four in the morning have a breakfast of boiled water then work for ten hours down the mine before walking twenty miles to school for eight hours, twenty mile walk home then have to spend ten hours licking the road clean with our tongues.......but, try and tell young people today that ... they wont believe ya.

Hmmm lots I miss, but silly as it might sound I miss Sundays being a peaceful day with everything closed. Ok true it could be a pain if you ran out of something and obviously it could be an issue shopping for something as the shops were open while you were at work, closed when you weren't working, but Sundays were so peaceful.

Yes, I agree
Also - and I know some people are going to be shocked that I'm saying this - Sunday opening hours in the pub. When the boozer closed in the afternoon, you knew it was time to go home to feast on the Sunday roast, have a bit of a snooze, then have a quick wash before going back for a few pints - after listening to the Top 40 on Radio One 
I miss these too....Yes, I agree
I also miss the times where Boxing Day - everything was closed. NYD the same. Christmas Eve was pretty much a half-day and things were just different.
We may be more advanced with technology, more knowledgeable than ever, perhaps, but I think it's (all the advances we've made) done us as a community and society, more harm than good.
Not being a "Bring back the good ole days' " type either. Just I and most of you, know time before this now.. and I'd much prefer it before hand tbh.
11 O'clock was looming and you knew that ten-to you had to get last orders in. Out by 23:30. Okay we needed the extra hour, but not this now.
People saying hello at bus-stops. Saying good morning in the street... especially to and with your neighbours.
I miss Ether for starting your car - no, I really don't... the amount of times I wrapped our old car engine up in blankets to prevent the ice from giving it hell, so I could avoid ether. Until they wrapped around the fan belt once and seized the engine
and I was a mechanic at the time! The veg man, milk man << oddly who used to call more often than he should when me Pa was in work... :hmm:
Oh and the pop man. Now he was my not-so-but-really best friend.
I miss having a shitty aerial that I could attach to my mobile phone, which was a brick, that would flash with an incoming call haha
Some good things and not so.
