I used to listen to Arrow Radio which played 60s and 70s music sometimes up to the 80s with almost nil DJ intervention. I've got 4 recordings of Arrow amounting to 12 hours in total which I listen to quite often. Arrow eventually closed, inevitable really as I don't know how they made money to pay for everything.

I recently found a Dutch station on the internet that seems to be Arrow as w...

Two approaches to this concept. One positive, the other negative, despite the way the question was framed!

OK, I'll add to the list of what was "better" from my viewpoint.

Houses much more affordable, "free" higher education, trades a more valued career choice (most didn't go to university), cars easier to repair (for people like us), better music (70s), probably better TV programmes, college academic staff better paid and respected (comparatively) and not controlled by a "human resources" dep...

You're right Guy. The causes and solutions are what matter now, but even if we could all agree about the causes, could we agree about the solutions, even if there are any?

Personally I would find it hard to argue with any on that list of yours Anamn. The scope for discussion is surely about what should, or can, be done about any of them. Which given humankind's potential abilities, is an extraordinary state for us all to be in.

Here's another to add to my list. Mobile phones.

I don't recall being lonely/isolated/unhappy, before the arrival of mobile and 'smart' phones; and for that matter the internet and all it's brought with it.

We all managed perfectly well without, and in some ways were better off.

Ah right. I thought twitcher just meant bird watcher. But anyway, yours is a good subtle example as I said Guy. And why I deliberately didn't give a list, to let others give theirs. As you say, away from the usual suspects.

Bill. There's an almost endless list. Dead high streets. Worse traffic, driving on worse roads, with far too bright lights, and roads with way too much signage. Over r...

Agree with Grey. just get a cheapy off 'bay. Think I paid about $15 for mine, came with mini usb plug for the phone and a normal size usb adapter plug as well for the laptop--- came with a screw on recovery hook, same with a little magnet and a rightangle mirror end fitting which is the most usefull bit for looking sideways in a hole etc. make sure you get one with the rightangle fitting. Mate bo...

The first tyres I had on my Sprite were Firestone 165/70-13, don't know which ones, glad to see the back of them as not great in the dry and poorer in the wet. I swapped to Avons, a great improvement, and have been using them on all my cars ever since.
