"I mean the most recent generation are wearing the clothes we wore when we were younger. We must be kinda cool "
I know right however the saying goes "if you were old enough to wear it the first time round then you're too old to wear it the second" obviously I ignore the advice |

Completely ignoring it, it’s the first time I’ve ever been ahead of a trend  |

I lived in a golden age when parents didn't want kids in the house so I roamed the streets. The only rule was "don't get caught" for if you did there was no childline to protect you. Raised in Dalston my house backed onto an alley which was full of factories. Directly opposite my house was a plant hire for scaffolding. We used to jump from our wall onto the backs of moving trucks. Next to that was a factory that made wooden trunks. My besties dad was the caretaker. At the weekend we would play hide and seek across four floors of building. On the corner was the unigate dairy where we learnt never to steal a vehicle that you can be out run on foot by. When they started bottling orange juice we would stage break ins to steal it. There was a magazine printers at the top on culford Road. They would let us in and give us out of date publications. Sometimes we'd crawl under the gate and nick the porno mags. We had factories that would give us reems of paper, scraps of leather, the scrap gold people gave us costume jewelry and semi precious stones they didn't want. My next door neighbours were hippy students that never locked their back door. We could come and go as we pleased. They never kicked us out. The place smelt of mildew, garlic and and the alley smelt of paraffin and motor oil from the garage. I had so much fun back then. Health and safety didn't exist and adults were not living in fear of interactions with children.
Every once in a while I walk down that alley. It's all warehouse apartments and artist/dance studios now. Not one rat bag kid in sight. |

"I went everywhere on a bicycle when I was growing up. No seat either. It made me who I am today. "
My old man was a dustman so my bike came from the dust. The tyres were so bald they failed my cycle proficiency test. Used to love riding at night to the Britania leisure centre as they had a big car park. |

"Going out in early mid 90s no mobiles and you actually had to chat up the opposite sex "

Remember the heartache when your fav cassette got chewed up. Or winding the tape back in with a HB pencil |

"We are ….. straddling the great divide between old and new, so many benefits of being a gen X"
Definitely. I think most of us still have a younger outlook. Maybe we just fear old age and want to rage against it. |

Brings back memories of them replacing the gas mains with those big yellow pipes after the North Sea oil boom. We used to jump in and out of the holes and tenches, and h&s was non existent. Mum would go mad at the mud on my clothes.
Used to go to Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham etc. On the bus and train. I'd have kittens if my kids did that on their own today |

I was going to reply tongue in cheek but I didn't want to give any old dears a heart attack with the audacity.
