staninoodle Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Must say iv enjoyed reading this......i suppose each generation remarks how times change,i wouldnt change my childhood one bit,never called my nieghbour or schoolteacher by thier first name,everyone was mr or mrs or miss. We respected the law more in the 60s i grew up in we had a village bobby(grenoside)he lived in a police house. Wed no console games,i was always out,park mostly or street football/cricket,or off on my pushbike,the only live football was the cup final,everything seemed to stop that saturday. No microwaves,and mum was always home to welcome me back from school,and we eat simple but wholesome food with fresh veg and fruit everyday. None of my friends parents smoked cannabis or my own,drugs were heard of but not so widspread,everyone said hello,if if you didnt really know them.

Treatment Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Crisps with the salt in a little blue bag, and if you were engrossed in a film at the pictures you had a good chance of chewing on it by mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie Rage Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 My dad used to tear the newspapers up into squares and then string them up early on Saturday morning each week before the rest of us got up. He used to say he had bought them from R Swipe & Co. Mom wasn't best pleased at this but approved of the economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willybite Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) My dad used to tear the newspapers up into squares and then string them up early on Saturday morning each week before the rest of us got up. He used to say he had bought them from R Swipe & Co. Mom wasn't best pleased at this but approved of the economy. hiya reading these letters makes me realise how much things have changed over the years i was born in 1938 , and in 1950 went camping to worsborough canal, there were seven of us three were thirteen, three were eleven, and me at twelve, this was my first and last camping trip, we had two tents one for three, and one a bit bigger for four, the first meal we had i realised i'd forgot my plate so had to eat out of the frying pan yuk..and to cap it we pitched the tents in long grass as one said we would be warm in the long grass, the beetles had the same idea..we were all spreading our wings, Edited February 24, 2011 by willybite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
