Being at least half a generation younger than Mr Edward Marshall Hendrix I'll go with:
Cresta, liquid sugar, but bliss in a bottle until you realise London Pride actually is.
Milk and newspaper deliveries, when Xmas tips were earnt.
High heels for men.
Pound notes.
Paris, Madrid, Rome etc being the 'holiday of a lifetime', and actually being foreign cities.
The World At War enthraling and scaring me as a youngster, now understanding why it still does.
The Tories ironic pro-Europe referendum.
Concorde, the Harrier, and Empire being things only we had.
Kidnapping/Hijacking when you felt that the victims might survive.
Wingers, proper ones, from Eddie Gray, Steve Heighway to my hero Dave Thomas and then to the brilliantly unathletic looking John Robertson.
Gunther Netzer running the game for West Germany in their green shirts at Wembley.
Jan Tomachewski, Sparwasser scoring for the East against the West and the silence that followed, the brilliant Dutch not turning up for the final, in which Scotland underachieved, and the Zaire free kick moment.
Virtually my whole school following Rangers, my dad phoning from Japan to ask how we had got on against Norwich, Jimmy Hill desperate for us to win the title.
Triumph Stag's hard top, soft top, and cabriolet style open air.
Wondering why people laughed at 'On the buses'?
Colditz, the game more than the TV series, 'Appel roll call' remember?
Nationwide to eat one's dinner to. Michael Barrett? We found out later he was knobbing one of other presenters, a bit like Tommy Docherty..
Picture cover 45s.
Fancying the blonde one from Abba. Who didn't? Benni I think she's called ?
Red bus rovers.
Thinking that skateboards were s.hit, along with CB radio.
Streakers, unfortunately often male, made obsolete by the magnificent Erica Roe, the benchmark.
David Carradine, before he advanced to the tall cupboard, bin liner, satsuma phase.
Alias Smith and Jones and The Survivors and literally crying with laughter at Fawlty Towers.
The three day week, no power some nights so we couldn't see Uri Geller bending spoons

Feel free to add your idiosyncrasies.................

We ran upstairs (lived in a basement) with cans and filled them up. No central heating then, a gas fire in the living room and these Aladdin heaters in the bedrooms.
