    I can remember Gas Street Lights, Gas House Lights, The Old Brewhouse with the fire under the Boiler for the washing, the Mangle to wring washing out, The Pig Stye, Relay radio with Light program and Home service, Halts on local Train Lines, Steam Engines, Starting Handles for Cars, The Rag & Boon mon with free Goldfish, the Pop Mon i was one many moons ago... i think the Bread Mon is almost extinct now.
    Maybe the scrap thing might be something to do with Councils charging, or do we have to be registered now to collect Scrap so its awkward to weigh it in ourselves.

    I wonder what else will be out of fashion/Extinct 20 years from now, probably Desktop PCs, Radios ?, who knows.

    Do you still have one due to a large video collection?

    All I have under my TV is a DVD player, Virgin box and a PlayStation.

    Ah ... you'd be surprised, Jamie! Whilst they ARE rather "old hat" - and there's less call for them now - I'm like Steve, in that, I too currently have one of those things stowed away underneath the television cabinet.
