Guest Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Just shows that different people have different experiences people sometimes remember something because of a happening like The_DADDY. I enjoyed my formative years and none of it seemed a hardship at the time. We knew nobody who lived much differently so we all accepted our lot. As I've said before, I'd go back in an instant and re-enjoy that warmth of a caring community again. A few hardships are nowt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
