Old stuff I still know
Our Ginger Fuhrer says that he could still code up a simple game idea in Amstrad Basic, while I'm your man if you ever need to rebuild the suspension on an Austin Allegro (1750 Equipe version). This stuff doesn't leave your mind - tell us about obsolete talents you still have.

Nuts and Bolts
I can look at most nuts (ooh err) and bolts and tell you what size spanner\socket to use, metric or imperial, used to be really useful when I had no money and couldn't afford to get my car\bike\scooter fixed....

why was it useful? Did people pay you for that Rainman-like ability?

Imperial?
Whitworth, cycle, fine or coarse in unified or British, brass, pipe or association. If you bought a late 60's BSA bantam you could get Whitworth, Unified, Cycle and some metric/imperial mutants on the same engine. And Whitworth changed during the WWII for economy reasons, my spanner tray is large and varied and there'd still some missing.
