    [cite]Posted By: March51[/cite]Bus conductors (except on London's two 'heratage'routes)

    My grandfather was a London Bus conductor.

    "No spitting" signs

    Gas Lamp Lighters (Had gas lamps up my road until I was about 7 or 8 years old) They were lit manually.

    Cars with orange indicator arms that stuck out either side to signify turning left or right.

    Paraffin heaters.
    Paraffin machines on the forecourt of every petrol station. It seemed to me there were only two brands Pink and Esso Blue.
    Petrol pumps that aren't self service.

    That's amazing Stig.

    I'm sure they must have some connection to Rossi's of Catford.
    Was told, and always believed, that old man Rossi who delivered on Abbey Wood estate was the dad of Francis Rossi of Status Quo - might have been a wind-up I guess.

    Francis Rossi came from a family that had ice cream vans and a shop somewhere in London. I heard him on talk sport last year talking about it
