..........
I remember nobody in our neighbourhood locked their doors.
There was no computers or game consols so we all played footy or cricket on the street during the day and hide and seek at night.
I remember fireworks night when the whole neighbourhood got together around a massive bonfire.

I remember the days when you didn't have to look over your shoulder out at night, when people had manners, and kids were scared of cops and 12 year olds didn't look like they were 18. But I also remember wars, people dying of diseases that don't exist anymore and no man on the moon. It'd be nice if we could mix all the good things of the past with all the good things of today!

Growler2058, I remember when I was a boy, I was one of those driveway attendants.use to have a guy come in once a week that had bought a new vw beetle, some where in the owners manual is must have said you could use a percentage blend of petrol. He would take out pen and paper, ask for something like 3.1 gallons of super, then he would drive to the standard pump and then say something like 1.7 gallons of standard. Then wanted his screen cleaned check his oil & tyres and wanted the spare checked, EVERY WEEK
And cop cars were Cooper S es.
The Ferret I remember I had a pedal cart very similar. Still, What about a pump up scooter!!!! Now thats way up there, totally awesome.
AB My mother who is pushing 80 loves Pink Floyd,often she still plays it, Us, us,us & them
The Dogman No mention of the 70s, A lot of us, whoops, I mean, a lot of people cant remember the 70s.
Lorrieandjas Amen to that!!.
I remember when I was a boy most kids had to go to Sunday School. Weekday school sometimes meant the cane. Ouch.

I remember when I was a boy
Sending letters to Santa for a few years always asking for a horse , only to be disappointed evey Christmas morning.
My dad would always say that the yard was too small for a horse and thats why Santa wont bring me one.
That didn’t stop my letters to Santa though.
Then one xmas morn, I raced out the door to the back yard like I had been doing for a few years hoping that Santa left me my horse.
I noticed bits of horse poo around the yard, looked all around the yard and behind the shed looking, but no horse.
My dad then told me the horse was there when he got up earlier but it must have got out because it probably didn’t like being fenced in.
Some years later dad told me he bought the horse poo and threw it around the yard, then told me the “horse escaped story” to shut me up over this darn horse for xmas every year.
Every xmas since then, someone in the family always brings up the horse story. Our 4 adult sons, my wife. inlaws etc and sometimes my mum spend most of the day making jokes about it, horse sounds etc.
If only Santa had got my letter.
