Is there anything you can think of that you wish from your childhood that were still like it today or still around
Mine would be the innocence where you seemed to be able to trust your neighbours and play out in the street till silly o’clock and everyone would look out for everyone else’s kids without being asked or without a worry
Also smarties how the used to be with the tubes and plastic tops so you had the sweets and were able to fire the top at someone :D |

I was around when blue tits and sparrows around the country learned how to peck the silver tops off milk bottles ,then milkmen put a stone on the top of milk bottles on the doorsteps. |

my own little sanctuary |
When I was playing out the ice cream man used to come find me as my parents had given him money for our ice-creams as he passed the house so he would circle the estate until he found me.
Blackjack and bubblegum ice creams with a decent amount on them  |

Mine would be for kids today to be how kids my age used to be
We could be adventurous and learn from our own mistakes , even our parents giving us more freedom we all knew who were dodgy people but still had enough freedom to actually converse with neighbours etc without blanking
And we respected not only our parents but other grown ups too. Gone are the days where you could get told off by your neighbours with the fear of your parents bollocking you because they had ... Now kids either mouth off or said parents have a go at the neighbours for actually telling them off for bad behaviour !! Same in schools too !!

Proper old school fingering.
Not this fingerblasting nonsense.
Titing someone up then hand up skirt for a sensual fingering whilst snogging each others face's off.
Usually in a booth or dark corner at Ritz's nightclub or local boozer in back alley.
Oooohhhhh classy |

You younger peeps won't remember sitting on the side of the road for hours, waiting for a car bus or lorry to drive by, to take down it's registration. |

No crap tv or people over indulging in computer games etc - it really saps the life out of people watching box sets - at least we had a steady diet and commited an hour a week to watch something... |

Wish my kids could of lived in times like I did. Such as, out the door to play all day and come home when the street lights switched on.
Riding in the back of my uncle's open back truck.
Curly Wurly chocolate bars being huge as most choc bars were back then!

Life can be easily without all of that ... it's only life choices!
I'd like Sunday's to have the internet switched off for all! Have to go back to how it was! |

That’s the best reply on here
Add to it :
Respect for elders and the police! |
