No need to feel embarrassed Theo; I doubt anyone in Club 30-81 is judging you. You could use the "Preview Post" button though if you want to practice till you get it right. |

Re: They dont make them like this anymore!
moving swiftly on again.........
Trolleys? go carts? whatever my brothers used to scour the dumps in the area for pramwheels - and make their own trolleys. They used to spend all day on them and customize them etc.. Ill nver forget the fun we had - racing down the hill ----- and really hope nothing was coming up. I never had a pram of my own(for my dolls) - I had to share one with my sister - - you had to be quick though else before you knew it the boys would start asking if youd finish play ing with it - because they were hoping to make another go-kart. Those were the days ... |

Since we're on the subject of bicycles, here's the banana-seat "Stingray", my first set of wheels.

I lost my first hopper popper down the drain.
Fart gas smelt like tonsil stones. I loved the smell from cap gun ammo. Keyring cap guns. |

the others are usually just a few friendly words as we pass,.. it probably just depends on the area you live in,.. ironically,.. I find that the more 'working-class' and area is, the more friendly the people are,. and the more 'upper-class' an area is, the less people seem to have time for pleasanteries. |

Do you remember how covering up mirrors was a necessary precaution against lightening. I woke up on one occasion to see my 'kidney shaped' dressing table drapped in a white sheet and thought it was a ghost. The scream must have carried throughout the village. 'Birds and bees' were never discussed below the age of 10! The age of innocence. Although when a half-baked version was given to me at 10, I felt my world had been tainted and was very upset and demanded to of my mother (although she hadn't polluted my mind) if my father had jumped on her back like a bull. So perhaps it better that children are prepared earlier and more intelligently. Nos' Theo |

Re: They dont make them like this anymore!
Ive heard about them Theo but it was a bit before my time.

I think I remember making an apron and certainly domestic science. I was regulated to cleaning the glass doors in said room. Thank god for microwaves! Tell what is relaxing about cooking? Does anyone who grew up in the countryside remember picking flowers for the May Garland, which was taken around on 1 May? Best Teo Do they play Oranges and Lemons and Put the Tail on the Donkey, do you think? |
