Sit in front of my hi-fi, with my fingers hovering over the record and pause buttons, to record the radio charts, but cut out the talking. Life or death stuff!!  |

Spend the summer holidays outside playing real football and fishing
Knock on Hundreds of strangers doors collecting bonfire wood . Then spent weeks "guarding the bonfire" we had built ourselves
Went carol singing
Hid from the local beat copper out of fear and respect ( when drinking cider)
Collected panini football stickers
Took "guess who"and "cluedo" into school on last day of term
Collected bottles and took them to the shop to claim the 10p
Bought cola bottles for a penny
Infact had penny chews !!!!!!
Need more ? I got loads!!

A cigarette vending machine on the pavement outside the village post office. My mum used to send my brother up with a shilling for a pack of Players number 6. |

I told my kids (5 & 6) about people smoking on planes and on the bus and in restaurants. They were appalled lol. When I was a kid both my parents smoked and I remember there being an ashtray on the coffee table and them both smoking away in the living room. Really hard to imagine that now, and my mum is one of those terrible militant ex-smokers lol |

A friend of my mums, had a telly that she put 50p's in to. I was always amazed when it went off and she had to hunt for coins.
Imagine that nowadays
Although my TV has been unplugged for months....it would be a good piggy bank :D |

I remember when "bin men" were bin men
They would climb your wall and search for your bin if you had forgot to put it out
Steel bins with a lid
Hunch it over their shoulder and physically throw it in the wagon !
Not like the ones today !!! |
