Dustcarts appear to have become Bin Lorries without my prior approval!

Lunch used to be dinner and
Dinner used to be tea when I were a lad.
Confusing I know ! Always been a train station in my time though.

Always been a train station for me too - and taxis have always been taxis in Stoke and never a cab.

Pilchards - Cornish sardines.

basalmic vinegar and cracked sea salt crisps ................ used to be plain ol salt n vinegar

The Great Britain team is now..Team GB(boy...does this grate on me)
Linesmen are now referees assistants

Analogue-crap digital

When did a garage become a petrol station?

And when did problems become issues?

Fed up now a dark place, might be a Yorkshire saying.

Hard graft now a good work ethic

Wasting taxpayers'money is now an investment in public services

Fook me, I've just noticed that Betfair has asterixed out the word pu$$y in my OP.

WTF
FFS

Used to go to the pictures but now its the movies.

Remember when you used to see people walking around with "love bites" - disgusting.

Talk to - liaise with

I dont wish to correct you bellico but I believe 'talk to' is actually- touch base

Complete headcase - anger issues

the tipping point was surely when chips became french fries.

In over 50 years it's always been a train station to me and a cab has always been a cab. I agree with pictures and a comic is for kids, a magazine for adults and a TV always was and will remain a TV imo

University - Uni

Polytechnic - Uni

really aunty, you wanna go there?
there have been many name changes of regions once they chose them themselves

Shergar _ Tasty Chunks

Takeaway - used to be a CHIPPY.

Ur-anus > Uran-us

this is part of the general dumbing down of society. BBC are the cheerleaders for this appeal to the lowest common denominator - watched the 9 o'clock news the other day - made John Craven's Newsround look high-brow. the word "twice" has been outlawed now too it seems - it's now "two times". Too much for the masses to understand.

I'd sooner everybody went round saying 'two times' two times a day than EVER say 'sickth' for the one after fifth. C*nts!

Manchester United used to be a football club and now they are a clothing retailer.

Personnel officer now HR

saying that i heard a 'brace' the other day and didnt know how many that meant (I guess around three)
but then a 'few' being three always got me too
I see the logic to a 'couple' being two however

A brace is two also. I see a few as being 3 minimum. If I tell the wife I've had a few jars, I might've had a gallon!

A what?
What's that in real money?

A few litres you mean?

Thug, gangster & rapist

Are now, straight A student, promising footballer & part-time DJ

It's always been train station I think in my circles.

"Coach - charabanc"

How old are you, 120?! A charabanc was a different thing really anyway.

Cab used to be taxi - Still Taxi I think
Cinema was pictures - I don't mind either, what I don't like is "Movies", very yank.
Medic - doctor - Still doctor unless you're on as stretcher in a Chinook?
Apartment - flat - still flat imho, but another yankification perhaps.

"Lunch used to be dinner and
Dinner used to be tea when I were a lad."
I think this is just regional. Oop North it's still Dinner and Tea.

Station was always station -- not railway station or train station, just station.

There's a point where dumbing down becomes infantalisation -- reached when the health information adverts started talking about poo instead of faeces.

Terrorist ----   Freedom fighter

"What other things have changed their name in the rush to be cool ?"

20 years ago if someone had said to you, In 20 years time everybody will be walking around all day looking at their phones, you just wouldn't have believed them !

Letter..Now email or text..Hoover now a Dyson

Dead pilot ~~~~  Hero, who sacrificed himself instead of crashing into a primary school/ playground/housing estate

Rain - precipitation

Precipitation can be rain, but it could also be snow, sleet etc.

So what's the correct word for "yellow snow"?

10 years ago it might have been "Search" it's now "Google".

In my youth it was known as "the station" more often than not.

Evening all ...

Station was Police Station, probably still is.

Railway station is the, err, railway station - where the trains live.

I'm sorry to say those posters who contend it's just station that, on this occasion, you're wrong and don't win this week's star prize - a three piece suite.

I've reflected on my recent proclamation and in hindsight, I agree that when I was young the station was indeed the railway station, and that my family -from oop t'north - did call the railway station the station.  In fact the pub next door was called the station arms.

But you still can't have the 3 piece suite

Mongrel ... now a labradoodle

I'd say you'd only call it a station if there was no bus station?

For me it was always train station. But that's because it's shorter and less sylables, "Railway" is just showing off, and where I'm from, you'd get beat up for it .

window of opportunity chance

"Before" is "ahead of" thanks to the cringeworthy BBC.

C***s

I've always referred to it as the Railway Station.

penny - pee

career - zero hours contract

GPO - Virgin

It used to be Point Duty now its Traffic Lights.
When is the last time you saw a policeman at a junction controlling traffic (not for an accident)?

It used to be 'Men Only', 'Razzle', 'Mayfair', 'Penthouse' etc.

Now it's the internet.

The railway station was known simply as The Station because the omnibus arrived later, as is so often the case.
