I was on another forum this morning discussing hobbies and I said mine were cycling and collecting cassette tapes.
I got a message from another member asking "what are cassette tapes?"
So I explained about what we listened to before the days of Spotify etc and he sent me a picture of a Memorex 90 that he'd found on Google.
We've exchanged messages about how to play them but I'm not sure I've lured him over to the Dark Side yet.

You remind me of an incident in work some years ago.

A colleague was tellling us about the students living next to her who were, shall we say, somewhat anti-social.

My colleague said, "It looks like they're trying to re-create Woodstock in the the front garden".

Our manager, who was as thick as a docker's butty, said, "What's a woodstock?"

Back in the 90s, I was talking to a couple of colleagues about punk rock. They looked at each other and one said "Before our time, mate!" :shocked:

I'm looking for the punk rock version of 'Woodstock' on cassette.

Can any of you youngsters help?

.

My dear wife reckons she always thought that the Woodstock festival was held at Woodstock, Oxfordshire near Blenheim Palace.
I'm hoping she's pulling my leg.

What’s a floppy disk. Other question from the grandkids, why do they have pillar box’s when you email, before texting how did you communicate to each other at the table, you used to walk to school.
