Vosene! It really burned if you got it in your eyes!
Also, bath nights during the winter.
And that feeling you get on a sunday evening on the last day of the school holidays.

And yes, i know its 3 things lol
I don't remember if we used Vosene, but I do remember bath nights in winter. Bathroom cold before you got into the bath, several degrees below absolute freezing when you got out of the bath.
The Sunday evening on the last day of the school holidays felt like the end of the world. Although it was nothing compared to being called by my mother on the Monday morning, more like Monday moaning.
That first day at comprehensive school. Brand new uniform, including shoes. Trousers irritated like mad. Shirt seemed to cling to me. Grey pullover was uncomfortable. Shoes all stiff. Choker, sorry tie, served no purpose other than to get on your nerves. Glad I will never have to live that day again.
Hand-me-down clothes. Being the youngest, most of the clothes I had previously belonged to either my sister, brother or cousins. The most embarassing hand-me-downs would probably have to be my brother's school blazers; I was the only girl with "fart flaps"!
Local shops that would work bank/office hours. They would rarely work more than 9 to 5. If you wanted a paper and a bar of chocolate for the trip to work you weren't getting them if you started work before 9am. My local newsagent even closed for 90 minutes between 1 and half 2 for lunch.
It took people from Asia to come here and show us how a shop should be run. When I entered the workforce in 1995 I could get my paper and Dairy Milk at 7am.
