  • No, but it's a great play on words.

    I can remember spending a penny.  It's free here tho I have to ask for a key when we go to eat at beachside restaurants.

    Never ever liked salad cream, sandwich spread, Angel Delight, Smash, Vesta whatever. tho I did like the pastry on a Frey Bentos pie.  I've seen salad cream on sale here in the 'foreign' aisles next to Heinz baked beans which I do buy.

    I suppose the main unfashionable thing I do is not knowing or caring about what is in fashion and what isn't.  Having never had a "Twiggy" figure, I wear what suits my shape and what colours I like.  I still wear clothes I've had for decades (not all for gardening) as well as making new.  I'm gradually weaning out all the boring black.

    Comfortable knickers, in colours other than black, white or beige. I think the current trend for thongs, Thai and Brazilian knickers are a sneaky ploy to charge as much as possible for as little material that the manufacturers can get away with. They don’t care if we then suffer from PUMA.
  • I still play records - yes, bought a decent stereo with my first month's pay packet, and still use it. In fact we're listening to music playing on it right now.

  • Books. Real ones, with paper pages.

    I love the strawberry flavour Angel Delight, wouldn’t say no to an occasional prawn cocktail, and could definitely wolf down a Black Forest gateau. My favourite birthday dinner-at -home is still Chicken Kyiv, not sure if that ever went out of fashion?
  • Bought a convector heater for our first house, that was so good. Timer, and all "mod cons" for the time.
    We've been through several heaters over the years, but the one that worked best is the original one. Safe, effective, cheap to run.

    And we still use it in the colder months.

    Comfy granny nighties. Really don't like pyjamas. Agree with @Ergates about knickers. I do like a bit of lace and silky stuff but they must be comfy.

    Hate salad cream. I agree with @Obelixx about food.

    I like bedding plants, in pots and filling in gaps in borders.
