Agree with all
No seatbelts in cars and fighting with brothers to avoid the middle seat as you couldn't stick your head out the window.
Getting squashed when my dad went round and roundabout and we all went woooooooo in the back of the car and try to crush each other.
No remote controls and fight to change the channel.
Play school, Blue peter with ellis duncan and simon groom and goldie the dog.
trying (and failing) to make BP models.
monkey bars, swings, chutes which were made of ornate iron with a highly polished steel from all the bums sliding down them.
catching tadpoles in the canal, skating in the canal when it was frozen (winter actually having snow at some point) snowball fights, huge catch one catch them all games with over 50-60 kids playing over a huge area and the game lasting about 2 hours.
I know I am taking up more than my fair share of the bandwidth here but am really enjoying reminiscing! Some other things to make you go ahhhh
The Smurf promotion at petrol stations.
Milk and juice delivered to your door at 5am.
The muppets followed by that country ways program on a Sunday evening. Suprise Suprise!
Marbles at primary school.
Houses without central heating being pretty common.
"International" supermarkets.
Television rental being far more common than ownership.
A credit card was a rare sight, and a gold one really meant something.
Shopping was bought home in a basket, not 50 plastic bags!
Walking around the playground at first break chanting "Who wants to play war?". If so, you join the gang. Later that day, at lunchtime, chaos unfolds with lots of **-hu-**-hu-**-hu machine gun noises.
Stinger!
