100%. Another easy one if you lived through those times (although I got lucky guessing at the income question.)

I got 29 but some of the questions were relating to America and being this side of the pond I did not know what some of the answers due to the difference of language use..

For some questions, all three answers would have been correct. I remember sucking on a piece of chipped ice that the iceman had chipped off on the back of a horse drawn ice truck. Now how many remember that?

I too remember the iceman. I remember he was a giant figure and wore leather chaps. He would bring in the brick of ice in with huge tongs. Where did all the years go?

Yeah, I do. I can't convince the grandkids that such a business existed and that horses pulled the wagon (it did have rubber tires). Of course, I also remember door-to-door insurance salesmen (a quarter a week) and someone we fondly referred to as "the ragman" in *his* horse drawn wagon! I don't worry how old I'm getting to be, but dammit, the greatgrandkids are getting old fast.

Got them all so fast that I had to wait for the next question to load! I don't know if I'm bragging or complaining!

Oh yea, I forgot about the rag man. He came by several times a week hollering "Ol papies, bottle." He would take most anything you didn't want. Of course, as I can remember, mom and dad never had anything for him.

Thank you Tony. I forgot about the ragman.

32, I guessed Victrola because earlier we had one. It was converted to a black and white TV later by my Dad, an electronics engineer.

I must be getting old. I got 30 out of 35. Should have gotten several more; made stupid mistakes.
Same thing happened to me. But on a few of them, I think more than one answer could have been considered correct. Anyway... it is what it is.
