if you could change anything about modern life in Britain, something that you consider worked, or you thought was better years ago, what would it be. Hope that makes sense..

I don't miss old type films in cameras. What a decision it was whether to take a photo or not when you only had 36 or 24 exposures on the roll of film!
Hurray for camera SD cards - I take hundreds to get the best one!

I'd change the government. Years ago we had politicians who were genuinely concerned for the people they represented and tried to change things for the better.
Nowadays it seems most politicians are all out for what they can get.

Comfortable seats in trains, with heating in winter and a dining car.
A butcher and fishmonger within walking distance.

When you have to call a big company like gas, electricity etc. I want a person on the other end able to connect me to the right person/department not a recorded message telling you to press one for this, or two for that. I just want to speak to someone who can help me, not sit at the end of a phone for ages listening to recorded messages telling me to push button one for this or push button two for that

[emmie]

no to National service, that wouldn't be right...

[emmie]

yes get back the proper butcher, fishmonger, all of ours went years ago, high rents, rates put paid to that

Murraymints, you can still buy the crisps with the blue salt bag so you can add the salt yourself if you want it.They are called salt and shake crisps.

[tonyav]

Yes, and very nice they are to Georgiesmum, not many in a bag though.
