The Grumpy Persons Nostalgic Thread

[acute]

I recently-ish bought a mains electric 4-way block extension lead adapter thingy.

After just 2 months, the LED power indicator light dimmed to the point where I could only see it in the dark.

Meanwhile, the Neon light on the extension lead I bought 25 years ago is as bright as ever.

When I was a young adult, we rarely had encounters in or near churches. Now the opposite is the norm here.

What kind of encounters?

Collections of bubblegums. I could get pretty rare flavors back then, like the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" flavored bubblegums. They were worth 200 "American Dream" flavored bubblegums.
