My memory, although still good is sometimes not quite as sharp as it once was. The smell of milk never is very nice, possibly even sickening as you comment!
Yes, unfortunately that is the case. Despite the memory still being quite
good I so often wish I was younger, by about 50 years or so!
We can’t put the clock back though!
Observing a totally enclosed Stagecoach bus earlier today, I realised how easy the Routemaster was to use way back when they were a popular bus. That open access platform and grab handle made a timely dismount ahead of your stop very easy and also for running to catch it a few seconds tool late.
In London with its stop start traffic you could jump on & off just about anywhere. Always jump off backwards to avoid mishaps, hit the road running forwards.
Not H&S nowadays, such a shame.
Baz, stop twicking us. As long as we’re young in heart, what’s age anyway 
The trolley buses were even more exciting to jump on at the last minute because of their acceleration
Yes, I remember that well. I still have the scars to prove sometimes that takes time to learn,
the hard way!
True enough, age is just a number – except that occasionally we are reminded otherwise … ?
Cars…
The days of freezing cold cars with pull out chokes, and barely adequate heating - and the cranking with starter handles 
My Morris Minor van battery failed so I hand cranked it for about three months before I got round to buying a battery. I stalled it once at some lights in the middle of London so had to leap out with the crank handle to restart it somewhat embarrassing.
Fortunately the car had the absurd Morris joke 803cc motor so turning it was a breeze.
Bruce, I used to love those old Morris Minors.
I had the Traveller, then the pick up truck with a canvas top, and lastly the saloon.
Luv 'em. 
Mine was an ex GPO van but I had a lot of fun in it. I think I only paid 30 pounds for it.
