Things you won't find anymore...

[Eupher]

I quit smoking in 1979, long before most of these rules came about in either the U.S. or the U.K. I well remember the breaks I took, indoors, lighting up a cigarette in the mid-70s, and having some of my co-workers waft away the smoke while complaining about it. I tried to accommodate them, but in being honest, I was a wee tiny bit annoyed in doing so.

It's been a long, long time since then and I completely understand the disgust that many have with putting up with second-hand smoke.

Those restrictions that came against tobacco smoking in public were right and proper, IMHO.

Things you don't hear anymore...

Mom asking "Did everyone go potty?" before we all piled into the car.

Didn't matter if the drive was gonna take 10 minutes or 3 days, you had to question whether Dad would pull over to let the kid who failed to follow orders pee behind a bush.

Who remembers the neck tie? Strange sort of accoutrement, it was worn around the neck and tied at the throat.
It was worn by mostly by men, and although it was beloved of the professions, all ranks and stations in life wore a tie to work.

I think a neck tie is still the sign of an astute business person and reflects well on anyone as a mark of professionalism and style.

How about a briefcase?

In your post "I think a neck tie is still the sign of an astute business person and reflects well on anyone as a mark of professionalism and style"...replace "neck tie" with "briefcase" and Bob's your uncle.
