Yes we did have party lines here in the UK. My friends parents had one and we always used to listen in on the other peoples phone calls when her parents were out
We were about 10 yrs old 
I remember laying in bed on a Sunday evening and listening to 'That's life' on downstairs and really wanting to be able to stay up and watch it but it was on too late :(
I remember learning the Pepsi cola song that went.....
Oooh Pepsi cola, lip smackin' pepsi cola
Thirst quenching, ace tastin' motivatin, cool buzzin' etc
I can't remember it now but I had it all on a poster for some strange reason I'd bought??

Remember when beer and pop had the tops that pulled completely off the can? Or the old recycled pop bottles, made of real glass. If you are old enough you can probably remember the beer cans that you actually had to puncture to open, with a real can opener. LOL
I remember the "Houston Oilers", and the "Los Angeles Rams".
Speaking of "Remember When", anyone else heard the rumor that Tom Sellick is going to make a Magnum PI movie soon? I read about that somewhere. Must be a lot of us thinking back, look at all the recent remakes- Dukes of Hazard, Starsky and Hutch, etc.

Oh, let me think I'm so ancient I can go back eons!!!
I remember party lines too, you had to share with a neighbour..It was really interesting when you could eavesdrop....It didn't matter you had to share, you were thought 'posh' because you didn't have to run to the call box, that was on every street corner ......Neighbours would come in, and ask to use your phone!
I remember walking down Carnaby Street, in my Mary Quant false eyelashes, they were so long, I could comb my eyebrows with them at the same time!) In my mini skirt, that was no more than a belt, white over the knee boots (kinky boots), and a yak skin coat, that stank when it got wet in the rain :eek: and thinking I looked the bees knees...I remember seeing Ringo star, Twiggy, and Mick Jagger in my lunch hour, wandering around the oh so fashionable Soho...
I remember when a fiver was a lot of money, and you could go to see a film, have a meal, and still have enough left for the bus fare home!
I remember when kids could go out to play all day, and come back dirty, tired and worn out, and our mums wouldn't worry that we'd been abducted.
I remember the summer always being hot, it never rained in those days
I remember making go Karts with pram wheels, and old bits of wood, and racing them down the biggest hill in our neighborhood.
I remember Bonanza with Ben Cartwright and Hoss, on a black and white telly.
I remember Sunday night at the London Palladium, and the tiller girls!
I remember route master buses, with a platform you could jump off before it stopped, and the conductor with the ticket machine!
I remember when nurses wore starched caps and aprons, and had a dragon of a matron in charge, and hospitals stank of dettol.
I remember 'old money', pounds, shilling, and pence, and we used half a crowns, two bob bits, threepenny bits halfpenny's, tanners, and guineas!
I remember when the future was an exciting thing, and not something to worry about.
I remember when I was young!
I Know I'm old now... I won't be a bother to my family, and am looking forward to the day when my boys shove me in a home..As long as they supply me with a crate of wine and 200 fags a week I'll be happy!!!!

I remember when it was safe sleeping with your windows open at night.
I remember swimming in the pond and it wasn't considered "gross".
I remember swimming in the Ohio River too...
I remember being out from dawn to dusk and parents not being concerned
I remember camping in the backyard with a tent (there is no way I would allow my daughter to do this now)
I remember when parents were allowed to appropriately punish their children (yes I even had to pick out my own "switch")
I remember going to my grandmothers and eating TV dinners made with tin foil containers oh and can't forget the TV trays
I also remember when Nuns wore habits

I remember collecting bottle caps.
I remember when wearing anything but your Sunday best to church would get you tossed out for being disrespectful.
I remember BB Bats,SquirrelNut Zippers,MaryJanes,candy necklaces and cigs,Turkish Taffey,steaks without growth drugs and with fat for flavor.
