Count all the ones that you remember not the ones you were told about.
Your age ratings is at the bottom.
Candy cigarettes
Coffee shops with tableside juke boxes
Home milk delivery in glass bottles
Party lines on the telephone
Newsreels before the movie
TV test patterns that came on at night after the last show and were there until TV shows started again in the morning (there were only 3 channels [if you were fortunate]).
Peashooters
45 RPM records
Wash tub wringers
Hi-fi's
Metal ice trays with lever
Blue flashbulb
Cork popguns
Ford Zephyrs
If you remembered 0-3 = You're still young
If you remembered 4-6 = You are getting older
If you remembered 7-10 = Don't tell your age,
If you remembered 11-14 = Welcome to the OLDIES FORUM!

I remember them all apart from "metal ice trays with lever". Must have been super posh to have them, we had just aluminium ones that you ran under the tap for a minute and with superman strength gave a twist when the cubes would fall out I remember our local coffee shop with juke box, our gang of about fifteen would gather there for the evening and drink our expressos )not like the rubbish you get today with the same name). It was called TIPALDIS and was owned and run by an Italian called Giannini, an Italian war refugee. Because we were regulars we were allowed to stay if funds were tight with just one drink bit others were turfed out. Many a romance was started in there Height of fame was when Tommy Steele visited on his coffee shop tour

Haha...well we must've been right up there as we had the lever metal ice cube tray😁
Without it, the thing would be welded to the ice-box!
And, of course, that tray would've been the only thing in it!

Five.
Maybe newsreels, but we hardly went to the cinema when I was young (there were none near), so the earliest I remember would have been Mary Poppins or The Jungle Book, or Born Free, while on holiday. I don't think they had them, or I don't remember them anyway.
The coffee place in Gainsborough was called the Copper Kettle, and we did not go in there from fear of the Copper Kettle Mob, who may not have existed, but still. It was quite a walk from our house anyway, and we'd go to the Co-op Rendezvous café.
We didn't have a phone until I came to London, past 1980.
I don't know what a Ford Zephyr looks like, though I remember the name. (*checks*) No, I don't remember that. We had a Ford Anglia though. EVK 386C I think.

I remember them all too, and we also had an ice cube tray with a lever to prise it of the bottom of the ice box. I am really an Oldie, I remember the thirties!
