What about the wee City Sprinter buses that were about around 80s/90s? Didn't last long.

I had a mate who drove them, in summer it was like a greenhouse on wheels. He ended up driving into a bust stop, no injuries just dented pride

Old style door bells in tenement buildings, and when your bell was rung you went out onto the landing pulled up a lever that lifted the latch inside the stair door to let whoever rang the bell in. Our stair got renovated in the 80s so the bell, the wires, and the pulleys was there in place and working for 90 years until it got replaced by a intercom

Before I graduated to a Grifter I had a Raleigh Strika. My teacher in P3 or P4 gave me a telling off for my school diary, saying it must be ‘Strike’ or ‘Striker’. She was not buying the fact it was a ‘Strika’.
