Tales From the Crypt

Yesterday, on reading one of the schoolkids (13 y.o.) piece of imaginative writing about life during Elizabethan times I had to explain that they didn't have newsagents, gasoline, cans of gasoline and barbecues. I did let pass the Scottish neighbours in pre-James IV-London and didn't have time to read the whole thing, so don't know what other anachronisms existed. I know that children believe that history doesn't really start before their birth, so everything before that point smooshes together.
