I remember when I was a boy the olds could not afford laxatives so the old man would sit us on the potty and read us ghost stories!
My first pay was Four pound & ten pence.

Like you all - I remember when I was a boy (ooops I mean girl ... LOL) that children had RESPECT!!
* We were seen, not heard
* We ate our dinner or went without
* We said please & thank you without even thinking about it
* We got up out of seats for adults on the buses & trains
* We played for hours - miles from home with no-one handing us a mobile phone & saying "check in every hour" (yup I do that !!)
* We played OUTSIDE (oh shock horror)
* We smoked ciggies down the paddock that my dad used to give us
* We had the crap flogged out of us if we did something wrong
* We rode our push bikes for miles & miles to see a friend or go to the beach
* We worked our butts off pocket money & didn't resent our parents for it
* Great Granny smelled funny but hey, she was really really OLD .. LOL
* We'd play my dad's 45's from the 50's & 60's for hours - dancing around the lounge room like loonies

but you know I think the thing I remember most is : WE HAD FUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember....... when I was a Boy

And wonder how many of you do too ???

Having the crap beaten out of you for swinging on the clothes line.

Also should add my appologies to the lady members of the forum for neglecting to add "I remember .... when I was a boy / Girl.

My wife was having a look at some of the replys and said. "I remember when I was a girl, the toilet paper was an old phone book that her dad had drilled a hole through, put some wire through it and it hung on the back of the door. If we ran out they would use the waxed paper that apples use to be wrapped in".

And to Bazhemps . The ghost story on the potty has cracked me and the wife up. Really, I was having trouble typing because I was laughing so much.

Not to mention what would happen if you tied one to a rabbit but I digress again
I remember when the Barber gave you a lolly after your short back and sides
and didn't get arrested.

And to Ferret shame on you, shame I say. Lol
