Go back in time...

Before the Internet or the Apple Mac.

Before semi-automatics, joy riders and crack....

Before SEGA or Super Nintendo...

Way way back........

I'm talking about Hide and Seek in the park.

The corner shop.

Hopscotch.

Butterscotch.

Skipping.

Handstands.

Football with an old can.


An old wooden spool a match and rubber band .( A tank )


What about Cowboy's and Indian's.


Rounders


A game of Marbles Do you remember the ""Spotted Dick"



Fingerbob.

Beano, Dandy, Buster,( Eagle,)( Hotspur )
Twinkle and Dennis the menace.

Jam Roly Poly.

Hula Hoops.

The smell of the sun and fresh cut grass.

Bazooka Joe bubble gum.

An ice cream cone on a warm summer's night from the van that plays a
tune - Chocolate or vanilla or strawberry or maybe Neapolitan or
perhaps a screwball

Earwigs, wasps, stinging nettles and bee stings.

Sticky fingers. Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians, and Zorro.

Climbing trees.

Walking to school no matter what the weather.

Running till you were out of breath and getting a stitch, laughing so
hard that your stomach hurt. Jumping on the bed.

Pillow fights. Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was
cause for giggles.

Being tired from playing....remember that?

The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.

Water balloons were the ultimate weapon playing cards in the spokes
transformed any bike into a motorcycle.


I'm not finished just yet.....

Eating raw jelly. Orange squash ice pops.

Remember when...

There were two types of trainers - girls and boys, and Dunlop Green
Flash - and the only time you wore them at school was for P.E.

You knew everyone in your street - and so did your parents.

It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.

You didn't sleep a wink on Christmas Eve.

When nobody owned a pure-bred dog.

When £2 was decent pocket money

When you'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny.

When nearly everyone's mum was at home when the kids got there.

When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at
a real restaurant with your parents.

When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to
carry groceries and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.

When being sent to the head's office was nothing compared to the fate
that awaited a misbehaving student at home...

Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't because of
drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs etc. Parents and grandparents were a
much bigger threat! - And some of us are still afraid of them!!

Remember when....

Decisions were made by going "Ip Dip Dog Sh*t", That was sooo cool

"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.

Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly".

The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was germs.

And the worst thing in your day was having to sit next to one.

Having a weapon in school meant being caught with a catapult.

Nobody was prettier than Mum.

Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better.

Taking drugs meant orange-flavoured chewable aspirin.

Ice cream was considered a basic food group.

Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true..

Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest
protectors.

If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED.

Cinemas and fleepits everywhere.
Going to the shop for sugar and having to wait for it to be weighed and put in a blue bag.

Collecting pop bottles for the deposit.
