I told him it looked stupid and he said "You look fuckin stupid" and booted me up the arse.
It was quite sore.
But I didn't say anything.

Yep Tonibell don't remember them ones though, Mr. Whippy, 99s, Zoom Ice Lollies

Rag and Bone man on a horse and cart. Now it's Lithuanians pretending to be charities.

September: every week going down the corner shop and buying a few fireworks til Guy Fawkes Day. Then letting them off one at a time to make them last.

Tying bangers to stones, lighting them waiting til they fizz then dropping them in a bucket of water. Timing was the key Random things i remember from my childhood Drunken_smilie

November: going through the catalogues Littlewoods Kays can't remember the other ones looking at the toys deciding what you really really wanted for Christmas ( Scalextric, Hornby Doublo) but knowing in your heart of hearts that only rich kids got those. So when you got a wind up train set you were happy.

Christmas: Going round Aunts and Uncles houses and being allowed to play cards with the adults for MONEY. It was only Newmarket of course which is basically pot luck anyway. And your dad give you 10d or so for starters.

Piles of snow in the wintertime. Great at first. Snowballs, snowmen but then it soaked through your gloves and hurt. Badly
Then snow piled up for weeks which I hated.

Wintertime: the whole family huddled round one tiny coal fire. You could never get warm. Freezing cold lino. Constantly being moaned at by your parents for leaving lights on. Have you left the landing light on etc etc

Playing football out in the street or alley til you could barely see.

Walking everywhere: to school, to the town, the woods. No supervision. Nobody was bothered,

Ah the good old days Random things i remember from my childhood Icon_cheers

Making a pile of cash by selling empty ginger bottles to the really thick, bloody-knuckled Huns that hung around Govan Cross.

Best time to maximise profits was just before you got your mate to drive past in a transit van with the legend "Fisshull Tim Suporters Bus" crudely daubed on the side in gloss paint.

You always had enough for at least three black-puddin suppers and a half-dozen cans by the third circuit.

Happy days. Random things i remember from my childhood Icon_cheers Random things i remember from my childhood Icon_lol
