Redundant technology
Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?
Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

The China effect
The old tools were better because they were made up to a quality by toolmakers rather than down to a price by accountants. But because everyone wants only to pay "China price", that's all that gets made nowadays in factories far, far, away for slave wages. And also why films like the Full Monty are an accurate depiction of how we (Maggie?) valued our mining and manufacturing industry. And why I can only get engineering work in Asia. Bah, humbug.
Length? All in imperial units.
