Absolutely remember Sundays being nice and quiet not many cars running around etc. Literally deserted city centres. Grew up in York so it was amazing walking around the centre with little traffic less tourists etc and just enjoying the city.

...you miss "Zoom" ice lollies. Yes, you can get rocket-shaped ice lollies still. But they're not "Zoom"s.

Actually, missing reading magazines as a regular thing, news agents crammed full of them, and cheap enough to buy 2 or 3 at a go.

Omega Science Digest was always a favourite in the 80's.

I remember being at the beach watching shells being dragged by the tide.
Now we watch plastic bottles and we don't even see shells.

You are allowed to sell any alcohol in my state, on Sundays, past 1 pm. Apparently there are different levels of permits that range from our watery beer to rum and vodka. We do sell beers and other spirits that have a "beer" base, such as Whiteclaw, but we still do not sell rum and vodka till Monday at 6am. My store must be too cheap to get the special liquor license.

I really felt that a few years ago in France, strolling about Lille on a warm spring Sunday and realising how quiet everything was and how it used to be like that in UK when I was young.
