Things u often saw in the past but never see any more

I was in a town today and i saw eircom removing a phone box, i assume decommissioning it due to lack of use,
the thought just crossed my mind that there are so many things we often saw and took for granted in the past
but u will never see again. Feel free to add to the list.

1 Qeues outside phone boxs, in the city u could have 4 or 5 people waiting outside a phone box for their turn to use it
we will never again see that

In towns yes but I live in the country and on a nice day it's regular for a load of lads to turn up on my land, throw there jumpers or whatever on the ground as goalposts and start playing...
