OK, it's time for another "I remember..." post. [View all]
Here goes. I remember...
When you had to use hand signals for turns and stops in cars
When your airline meal tray had a free sample pack of cigarettes, usually Winstons. Four or five smokes.
Oh, and the whole airplane was a 'smoking area'.
Cockpit door was locked only for take off and landing. The rest of the flight it was open house. "Come on up and get the cockpit tour."
We'd even let a passenger sit in the pilot's or co-pilot's seat for a photo op.(I'm a LONG retired airline pilot.)
Knickers! I wore corduroy knickers with knee socks in grammar school. They made a "swoosh swoosh" sound when you walked. I've never understood the purpose/need for knickers.
I was raised in Alabama in the 40s and 50s and WE DID NOT HAVE SWEET TEA! If you wanted sweet tea you put sugar in it and stirred like hell. We had a long handled spoon that was called an 'ice tea spoon' to stir the tea with and no matter how long you stirred there would still be a detritus of sugar grains in the bottom of your glass.
OK, your turn.
