14 for me, yikes ! On the sweetie cigarette theme, does anyone remember Spanish Gold sweetie tobacco, olde English spangles, Aztec bars, the fake tigers tail you got from Esso petrol stations, bread delivery vans, trolley buses, kids with sticking plaster on one lens of their glasses and "poodle" sh*t, that's what we called the white dog pooh that you never see anymore ! How old am I ? LOL

I got 14 easy, could add on another 28 and still add some... The house I grew up in looked very like the ones shown at the start of corrie in the sixties, there was no electricity in it when it was built but was added in the 1940s, it had gas but only for lighting, no gas cooker or fire, cooking and heating was all done with a black Stanley range which burned coal and coke, the radio was powered by an accumulator, (old type of battery) which was very heavy and had to carried to a garage to charge it...
Oh yeah, my pet was not a cat or dog, it was a baby T. Rex, had to get rid of it when it ate everyone Else's pets...
Never watched Jurassic Park, it was just too nostalgic...

In Belfast they were like the old London double decker buses only with an electric motor which took its power from overhead power rails with a collector arrangement just like a tram. They ran from castle street to the andersonstown terminus, just outside casement park, I'm sure your relatives in Northern Ireland remember them.i only vaguely remember them as they wer taken out of service in the early 60's I think.

Most major cities had trolley busses from what I can tell, power taken from overhead electric cables, like trams, but not running on rails.
