    Show us your TIES

    If I could? It would be red, with gold Chinese dragons on it. I'd LOVE to own a tie like that. So far, I haven't found one. EDIT - Something like this:

    Show us your TIES

    I really shouldn't buy more ties, but these two caught my eye. For $5 total, they were mine: I see a lot of these. And my dad has a few. Any idea when ties with these sorts of patterns were really common?

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Those big poles with cables on top? I've always called them power-lines or telephone lines. Some people I've even heard call them 'telegraph poles', although I reckon that's rather outdated these days...?

    Golden Era Things You've Revived Or Repaired For Use

    That's a beautiful cabinet! Why does that door on the top left open downwards? What is that compartment used for? My contribution. This machine was missing almost everything when I bought it. It took a year, but it's finally all complete again.

    Do You Still Use "Golden Age" Products?

    A lot of brands and products have been around for decades, some over a century. So I probably do. But I couldn't name them all!!

    Skills For "Living The Era"

    Once, when I was a teenager, I lit a fire in the living-room. Like an idiot, I forgot to open the damper in the fireplace and the whole house filled with smoke and set off the fire-alarm. Gosh I felt stupid. I managed to open the damper in the end, and opened the windows to let the smoke...

    Show us your photography

    Last week, I was walking down the main street in my neighbourhood, when an elderly man in a very old antique car pulled around the corner. I whipped out my camera at once, terrified he was going to charge off down the street, and all I'd get was a couple of blurry 'high-speed getaway' shots...

    Home is where the Kitchen is

    It's a beautiful, white enamelled stove. But I MUST ask - What are all those compartments for, on the right?? How much baking do you intend to do?

    What Are You Reading

    I recently purchased two new books... "The World of 'Upstairs, Downstairs'": It puts a context to the Victorian, Edwardian and early 20th-century world, as portrayed in that legendary TV series "Upstairs, Downstairs". Fascinating reading. I'm about halfway through. I also bought: "The...
