You can't be that old CK. 25p, it was 2s/ 6d when I was a lad.

Nice one CK
Heres a few to the list
long summer days chasing and catching Butterflies so many back then
cycling nowhere specail just for the hell of it
Local Bobby you where s--t scared of
leaving the doors unlocked
climbing out the bedroom window after lock in
listening to David Bowie on yer mates dads priceless sterio
the first moon walk on black and white tv
yer first NEW bike
listening to Ann Nightinggale late at night

life was better then no doubt

Are we old or was it a better time

Could be it's just that time of life is the best time?

Me I think it was better and I would love to take my son back to see
it as it was, coz he thinks I am a nutter if I tell him about this stuff.

Great post even if you were just daydreaming.

One thing though..........you can still get Hula Hoops and I eat tons of the things

Hoola hoops...My Dad used to put them on my fingers and tell me I was a princess then eat them all off one by one...
I was 3 !...I loved my Dad!

Those evoked real memories CK!...I just wonder what MY kids memories will be of their child hood...

Mum playing "burp challenge"!
Wedgie competitions (who gets to Mums pants first!)
Fart competions...Loudest and funniest!
Bad` breath competitions...Who has the "cabbagiest" one in the morning!
Who can pee Dad off most with the "yes,( no behind his back) game!
Biggest bubble (bubble gum) competition
Stamp on your foot comp....
Such a shame they aren't allowed to "play out" like we were...and the bestest friend they get to play those comps with is Mum OR Dad
