Going down Woolworths on my Raleigh Grifter, getting some pick n mix, then playing 27 a side football, calling the game a draw after we lost count of the goals. Then getting home to watch The A Team, while having some Rola Cola.

Cycling 9 miles to play footie on a Saturday morning, 9 miles back, wolfing down lunch and going off to play footie at the rec before it got too dark. I wish I still had that kind of energy. Even the memory makes me feel a little breathless, think I'll have a kebab and a beer or 3 to get over it  |

My Dad. I was raised by a single Dad and I miss my him telling me nonsense stuff about acorn shells being fairy hats. And telling me there were a fairy family living in our garden.
I miss him carrying me on his shoulders and laughing as he runs across the field.
I also miss our little house, powercuts where Dad would make us toast cooked over the coal fire and jacket potatoes wrapped in foil cooked in the hearth.
Snuggling up by the open fire in the kitchen.
Leaving the house early Saturday and not being seen until your hungry.
Saturday nights when it was a chippy tea with a bag of sweets (only ever allowed sweets on a Saturday)
Being cuddled up with my brothers on a wet rainy day watching films.
Awww miss that. I tried to recreate these times with my own boys, I hope they have good memories. |

Meeting up with mates and other kids on the "block" for a massive game of footie...usually 20 a side! Playing with mates on bikes. Building model aeroplanse with best mate. Following footie on radio.
Happy times. |

Looking forward to the next episode of 'Grange Hill', and later, 'Tucker's Luck'.
Much like some of the fellas have also said, 15 plus-a -side footie on the village green followed by cold bottles of cream soda bought from the local pub window. |

Anyone remember when there used to be a chocolate spread made by Sainsbury’s I think that contained hazelnut chocolate and honey. There used to be a picture of a bumble bee on the jar. I used to love that.

Spangles, the fruity ones not the old English ones
Buying bottles of pop off the pop van. Better than the ringtones tea van
Collecting all the tags off the bread and putting them on your spokes coz you were too poor to buy spokey dokeys. It was much cooler anyway.
Splitting a roller skate in half and screwing it to a bit wood to make a skateboard.
Shit we were poor  but handy |
