Proper winters with snow and ice. Remember regularly walking to school in the 70s having snowball fights with the other kids all the way there.

Random one. Community spirit. When I was a kid I literally remember New Years street party’s and delivering Christmas cards to all the neighbours or when a lady up our road husband died everyone made her dinner for like a year. There’s no community any more.
