Well this brought a smile to my face as I remember most well nearly all O0
Before the Internet or the Apple Mac.
Before semi-automatics, joyriders and crack....
Before SEGA or Super Nintendo ....
Way back
I'm talking about Hide and Seek in the park.
The corner shop.
Hopscotch.
Butterscotch.
Skipping.
Handstands.
Football with an old can.
Fingerbob.
Beano, Dandy, Buster, Twinkle and Dennis the menace.
Roly Poly down a grass bank.
Hula Hoops.
Jumping the stream.
Building dams.
The smell of fresh cut grass on a sunny afternoon.
Bazooka Joe bubble gum.
Tip Tops and Jubblies
An ice cream cone on a warm summer night from the van that plays a tune,
Chocolate or vanilla or strawberry or maybe Neapolitan or perhaps a screwball
Wait ......
Watching Saturday morning cartoons....short commercials,
The Double Deckers, Road Runner, He-Man, Zebedee
Tiswas or Swapshop?,
'Why Don't You'?
or staying up for Doctor Who.
When around the corner seemed far away and going into town seemed like going somewhere .
Earwigs, wasps, stinging nettles and bee stings .
Sticky fingers.
Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians, and Zorro .
Climbing trees.
Building igloos out of snow banks.
Walking to school, no matter what the weather.
Running till you were out of breath, 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
Football cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a Motorcycle
Choppers and Grifters
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.
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 50p 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.
It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb.
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 such bigger threat!
And some of us are still afraid of them!!
Didn't that feel good? Just to go back and say, Yeah, I remember that!
Remember when .....
Decisions were made by going " Ip Dip Dog nuts "or Eanie Meanie Minie Mo"
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.
It was unbelievable that 'British Bulldog 123' wasn't an Olympic event.
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.
Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors
If you can remember most or all of these, then you have
LIVED.!
