10 Things in Every British Home That Don't Exist Anymore

If you grew up in Britain during the 1970s and 80s, your home probably looked remarkably similar to everyone else's—from the rotary phone in the hallway to the SodaStream gathering dust after the novelty wore off. This video takes you through 10 items that were in virtually every British household during those decades. We're talking about the things that defined daily life: the rental telly from Radio Rentals, the single warm room while everywhere else froze, the woodchip wallpaper you could feel with your eyes closed, and that G-Plan furniture your parents saved up for through catalogue payments. These weren't luxury goods—they were the shared material culture that crossed every class boundary in Britain. Whether you lived in a council flat in Rotherham or a semi-detached in Reading, you had these things. And now they're almost completely gone. From net curtains that defined respectability to candlewick bedspreads in freezing bedrooms, from pile carpets in eye-searing orange to the Teasmade that woke you with bubbling tea—these items created a sensory landscape that anyone born between 1955 and 1980 will instantly recognize. Which ones do you remember? Did you have the phone chair in the hallway that nobody sat on except during calls? Did you draw pictures in the condensation on your bedroom windows? Did your mum rake the carpet before guests arrived? Let us know in the comments.
