Things that once seemed normal but aren't allowed now

When I was about 5 I asked if I could 'drive the train' that we were on.

I was sat on the drivers lap, having an awesome time.

Now he'd be called a paedo and sacked for allowing a passenger in the drivers seat :p
 
Airbombs and similar loud single bang exploding rocket type fireworks.

The legal ones were banned a few years back thanks to the increase in chavs letting them off at 2am.

I remember being allowed, at about the age of 7 to walk from one end of a class 31 diesel loco to the other, past the running engines on the internal walkway!!! I remember thinking not to touch as i'll get burned, the smell of oil was amazing.
