I don't like not feeling comfortable stopping to offer a stranger a lift if I see them struggling with shopping etc - I used to stop quite often if I saw an older person with a lot of shopping and take them home but these days would they trust you? Quite sad when you feel you can't help others. Z |

"People getting smartly dressed and going to church on a Sunday.
They all worship the great god of retail now!"
Good point but I always maintain that you can pray anywhere and the people who tend to make a big show of going to church tended to be the worst sinners!I take myself off somewhere quiet to have a chat with god, don't need to have an audience. Z |

"the barber asking if 'you need something for the weekend'
mind ya, that's more to do with my baldy head than condoms being more freely available....."
You know, when I read that for the first time, I thought: "why's that? Does his barber think that he's unlikely to pull just because he's bald??"
Sweet Dawkins I'm thick sometimes!  |

"space hoppers

Funnily enough I engaged in a space hopper race with a couple of swingers in your hometown.
Perhaps you arent looking hard enough (for space hoppers I mean - not swingers) |

People holding doors open for others, saying thank you, saying please, smiling at strangers, offering a seat to others on public transport, saying after you at the bar and a million other polite things people used to do more often in the past.  |

Rope swings on lamp posts.
The kid with two "candles" constantly running from his/her nose.
Bogies (not the nose kind) with "borrowed" silvercross pram wheels.
Kids taking a jam butty & corporation pop & not being seen again till dusk.
50 a side footy games.
Sitting for two hours with your brother/sister in a car parked on a pub car park being fed the odd supply of pop & crisps.
Ahhhhh happy days  |

Spud guns!
Swords made from two pieces of wood nailed together
Chocolate, sweet and bubble gum machies outside shops when they are closed.
For the person who said Refreshers, they are still available but they changed the recipe about 4 years ago and took out some of the sugar content and colourings.. Don't taste the same! |
