Racism - the most shocking I can remember were signs in the windows of B&Bs in Lowestoft and Gt Yarmouth "No Blacks, No Irish" - absolutely appalling.
Fridge ?If we didn’t finish our dinner it was put in the fridge and served up at tea time (and it was dinner and tea not the rather effete lunch and dinner that the folks of Kelvinside might partake of)
And effective brakesRoad deaths in the 60s and 70s around 7000 per year. Less than 2000 a year for the past 10 years. Considering the amount of cars now versus then and the road miles driven this is a huge change.
We have a lot to thank seatbelts, drink driving changes and modern car safety features/build quality for.
I remember seeing: No Blacks, No Irish, No Gypsies, No Dogs.A few years ago (pre the B word that we can't be trusted to discuss sensibly) it had gone full circle. There was a pub in Great Yarmouth that had a sign in the window that said "Eastern European only". And no, this isn't an apocryphal tale that someone told someone and it got passed down, we had a port call in Yarmouth and me and my crew walked past it. Even our eastern European crew couldn't believe it.
And just because I know what the forum can be like - no, this isn't a defence or excuse for the racism of the past, just an observation. Although I suppose that "Eastern European only" and "No blacks, no Irish" cover a large percentage of the same population with many others also included.

I can see this turning into a four Yorkshiremen thread.25. Forks never to be turned upside down.
26. Permission had to be given before you left the table.
27. If you didn't finish your food there was no pudding.
Can’t beat a good old I was poorer than you, being poor was better in the old days, youngsters don’t know how good they have it threadI can see this turning into a four Yorkshiremen thread.
We used to dream of pudding ( No27)
Edit say just started trawling back through the thread. Looks like the Yorkshiremen have already turned up![]()
