We had one of those Electrolux vacuum cleaners until the late 90s when we had to get rid of it because it was becoming difficult to buy the dust bags.
My dad had one of those imperial tape measures which you flip the handle out and wind back yourself. He probably still uses it since unlike the spring-loaded ones you get nowadays it didn't break if you had to measure something which was the advertised length of the tape.
I reckon gameshow contestants should go back to winning actual prizes like they did in the 70s and 80s so the the audiences can "woo" at the idea of someone winning a Goblin Teasmade, 14" TV/VHS combo or a free-standing teak veneered record player, not boring cash.
As much as I'd love to have a play around with the 35mm developing equipment, Super 8 camcorders or those hand-operated adding machines, other things like the 'wall art' which doubles as a tea tray, fluffy toilet seat covers or those flowery bedspreads can stay in the 70s. I don't think Argos would get away with selling air guns any more either.
