Interesting list Ann!
I only remember 12 , as most of those are from USA. They were obviously more affluent than us, we  couldn't afford  a car or telephone, rarely went out to eat & didn't have a fridge or tv. Milk is still delivered in glass bottles round here

I got so many memories here and when I got to over 16 I gave up.
the one that really jumped out at me was the shared party line on the phone.
it used to be so annoying to pick the phone up and hear the other party talking.
no one would accept that these days would they?
